Another Call for Withdrawl of Christian Students from Public Schools by PCA GA

The Heartland Institute is reporting that the Rev. Steven Warhurst, associate pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Kingsport, Tennessee, is trying once again to bring an overture to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America that calls for, or encourages, members of that denomination to withdraw their children from public schools in favor an educational setting that allows for an education in line with their Christian faith.  For several years resolutions like this have been a staple of the Southern Baptist Convention but Rev. Warhurst’s unsuccessful attempt at last year’s PCA GA was the first for that denomination.  The movement is supported by one of the most prominent PCA pastors, The Rev. Dr. D. James Kennedy, pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Coral Gables, Florida.  The article reports that at this time the Rev. Warhurst is working on presbytery approval for his overture to GA.
