The shame of Christ's Church here in Indiana

Whatever difficulties historic Biblical Christianity of reformed and presbyterian commitments has had historically in Indiana, we took body blows these past two years in the form of two separate sex scandals which got statewide publicity. The scandals were written up repeatedly in the Indianapolis Star and Bloomington’s Indiana Daily Student. The Star and the IDS both ran multiple investigative pieces demanding action by the presbyteries of jurisdiction, providing and linking to lots of supporting evidence. The Star focussed on an RP church and its Great Lakes Gulf Presbytery while the IDS focussed on a PCA church and its Central Indiana Presbytery.

Tragically, both papers are now widely recognized to have wrestled with the presbyteries and their higher judicatories’ judicial commissions long and hard enough out there in public that both the RP and PCA ended up having to take corrective action, although quite belatedly.
