Dear BlueMoonlet, |

Thanks for the message! I'm a member of a PCA church in Baltimore, Maryland. |

I definitely agree with you that the PCA does have evangelical elements in it. At many member churches (my church being one), the worship services are very similar to what you would find in Baptist churches. On the flip side of the coin, there are also many member churches that are very liturgical, almost Anglican in their worship services. The reason I removed the word (capital E) Evangelical was not because the PCA is not (small e) evangelical; we follow the Great Commission and proclaim the good news to awaken God's elect. I removed it because it is a buzz word with a lot of baggage attached to it. When most people hear Evangelical, they think Southern Baptist Convention or Bible Belt. The reason I felt it was a buzz word when I removed it is because there were many buzz words hiding throughout the article. For example, under History, it originally stated that the PCA seperated from the PCUS due to "conservative politics." A friend and I combed through the wiki to find words and sentences with unnecessary baggage attached, and removed/corrected them. I hope I'm making sense. Perhaps I went a bit too far in my efforts to "purge baggage," as the PCA IS a member of the National Association of Evangelicals. |

God bless. |

In regard to removal of "evangelical" from PCA wiki.
Dear BlueMoonlet,
Thanks for the message! I'm a member of a PCA church in Baltimore, Maryland.
I definitely agree with you that the PCA does have evangelical elements in it. At many member churches (my church being one), the worship services are very similar to what you would find in Baptist churches. On the flip side of the coin, there are also many member churches that are very liturgical, almost Anglican in their worship services. The reason I removed the word (capital E) Evangelical was not because the PCA is not (small e) evangelical; we follow the Great Commission and proclaim the good news to awaken God's elect. I removed it because it is a buzz word with a lot of baggage attached to it. When most people hear Evangelical, they think Southern Baptist Convention or Bible Belt. The reason I felt it was a buzz word when I removed it is because there were many buzz words hiding throughout the article. For example, under History, it originally stated that the PCA seperated from the PCUS due to "conservative politics." A friend and I combed through the wiki to find words and sentences with unnecessary baggage attached, and removed/corrected them. I hope I'm making sense. Perhaps I went a bit too far in my efforts to "purge baggage," as the PCA IS a member of the National Association of Evangelicals.
God bless.
