News about the Presbyterian Church in America's (PCA) decision to appoint a commission to draft a petition calling on the U.S. government to reject the “practice of surgical and medical gender reassignment, especially of minors" has been spreading. Previous information released by The Lancaster Patriot did not include statements by multiple PCA pastors who voted against the measure, but still supported the denomination calling on the civil government to "renounce the sin" of transgender surgeries. This episode provides clarification and more content to the vote.
