Pastors of several large Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations met in early January in Scottsdale, Ariz., and out of that meeting a white paper declaring that it's "Time for Something New" was created.
"We believe we will not survive without drastic intervention," the white paper states. "We are ready to do something different, to thrive as the Body of Christ. We call others of like mind to envision a new future for congregations who share a Presbyterian, Reformed, Evangelical heritage. If the denomination has the ability and will move in this new direction, we will rejoice. Regardless, a group of us will change course, forming a new way for our congregations to relate."
