Notes:

bulletThe Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) is a conservative denomination whose name is often confused with the Presbyterian Church (USA), a larger and more liberal denomination. The latter group's beliefs and practices concerning homosexuality are discussed in a separate essay.
bulletThis essay appears on a website directed to both Americans and Canadians. Some of its content may violate Section 318 & 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada, which deals with hate propaganda. However, the author claims immunity from prosecution, because he "...in good faith,...expressed or attempted to establish by argument an opinion on a religious subject."
bulletBecause of copyright restrictions, we can only paraphrase and quote brief phrases from church statements. The full texts can be accessed from PCA websites listed at the end of these essays.
