PCUSA Passes Amendment Banning Clergy Who Doesn't Fully Embrace Militant Queer Ideology

The Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) has officially completed its transformation from a nominally Christian denomination into yet another rubber-stamping committee for the moral revolution. With its latest amendment, enshrining LGBTQIAP+ identities into its Constitution, the PCUSA has removed any last fig leaf of theological credibility, not that it had any left, opting instead for total allegiance to the gods of sexual identity politics.

This was inevitable. Believe it or not, here and there, there did exist at least somewhat remotely faithful PCUSA congregations, but only because it was so difficult to exit the denomination.

But, the PCUSA abandoned biblical fidelity long ago, before my time, trading the authority of Scripture for the latest room-reading of cultural relevance. Their latest move isn’t a radical departure—it’s the logical conclusion of a denomination that has spent decades groveling before every progressive trend that comes along. When you start by compromising, you don’t stop. You accelerate.

The details of this latest capitulation are as absurd as they are tragic. Amendment 24-A rewrites the PCUSA’s governing documents to formally recognize “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” alongside race, ethnicity, and age as protected categories.

In other words, the denomination has now officially declared that a person’s rejection of God’s created order is not just acceptable—it’s to be celebrated and defended. And any “clergy person” who isn’t on board with the sexual revolution gets the boot.

This is what happens when a church stops following Christ and starts following the world.

And just listen to the way they congratulate themselves for it. Brian Ellison, executive director of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians, gushed that “people of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations have faced a long and difficult journey to be seen and respected in the PCUSA.”

Really?
