Presbyterians ready to show the love?

According to the Star Tribune the Presbyterian Church experienced record-breaking membership decline last year.

Perhaps this news would indicate a need to make some changes?

Although the source seems anti-gay the news is good. Over at the Dakota Voice (“without the liberal bias” can be read as “with right wing bias”) they provide us with a few tidbits regarding the current Presbyterian conference in California.

It would seem there were some translation issues with the Catechism:

In 1967 the Presbyterian Church adopted a 1962 Miller-Osterhaven version of the catechism in its Book of Confessions. This translation of the original German document is said to contain a reference to "homosexual perversion" not found in the original.

The first visual that came to my mind was Jesus with open and welcoming arms of love.
