		<description><![CDATA[My church and I have joined the Midwest Presbytery of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). After a long, divisive, frustrating struggle with a stiff-necked and ungracious Administrative Commission (AC), we (the session) finally said &#8220;enough!&#8221;. We scheduled an information meeting and vote without the AC&#8217;s permission.

		<description><![CDATA[As an academic (Computer Information Systems), I usually appreciate other academics&#8217; creativity. I enjoy novel ways of thinking that lead to interesting and maybe useful results. But not when the academic is trying to make the Bible hard to understand.
The utterings of theologians and Bible scholars must be approached with caution and often taken with <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/christianity/pcusa-obfuscating-the-bible/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Sundquist decision is reminiscent of Roe v. Wade. In that case, an activist Supreme Court searched the Constitution high and low to find a hook on which to hang its desired result. Through some of the most tortured logic since the Dred Scott case, the Court found the right to an abortion tucked away <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/pcusa/pcusa-the-sundquist-disaster/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When our session announced a year a go that we believed God was calling our church out of the PCUSA into the EPC, it galvanized a small opposition group into action. Initially, they sent a letter to our congregation that listed their objections to the EPC. Whether by design or honest mistake, the letter contained <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/pcusa/discipline-in-the-pcusa-an-undisciplined-process/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This, of course, is the interpretation PC(USA) spin doctors put on the EPC&#8217;s local option regarding the ordination of women. With our church growing impatient with the PC(USA) and its deep dive into cultural accomodation, we are looking very hard at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC). Ours is a church where more than a third <a class="read-the-rest" href="http://www.curmudgeons-progress.com/pcusa/women-in-the-epc-second-class-citizens/">Read the rest </a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As my church struggles through an endless process of discernment, yoked to an Administrative Commission that seems dedicated to stalling and dividing us, I decided I needed a clear answer to the question &#8220;what harm is there in staying in the PCUSA?&#8221; This is what I will tell anyone who asks:
