MORE in the PCA is a grassroots movement of Ruling Elders within the PCA that seeks to encourage our brother REs that do not already participate in the Church’s higher courts (Presbytery and General Assembly) to start attending and participating.
We believe that REs are now being “called thereunto.” In the 2017 General Assembly, TEs outnumbered REs by a ratio of 4:1. When only 20% of the commissioners are REs, the PCA isn’t really operating with a “plurality of elders.” And one only needs to examine the record to understand whether the 2017 General Assembly held true to confessional standards.
One of our main goals will be to provide stipends to REs who have financial obstacles to attending General Assembly. To that end, we are seeking recognition of tax exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization and will accept tax-deductible contributions to sponsor REs seeking to attend General Assembly.
Beyond that, we will encourage Commissioners to support overtures that will restore the plurality of elders principle.
That’s how we plan to encourage
More
Orthodox
Ruling
Elders
to get involved in the PCA.
