The material below was provided by WRF member and Board member Dr. Ron Scates. This is an open letter to members and friends of the Presbyterian Church (USA).



To say the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is deathly ill is not editorializing but acknowledging reality. Over the past year, a group of PC(USA) pastors has become convinced that to remain locked in unending controversy will only continue a slow demise, dishonor our calling, and offer a poor legacy to those we hope will follow us. We recently met in Phoenix, and have grown in number and commitment. We humbly share responsibility for the failure of our common life, and are no better as pastors nor more righteous than anyone on other sides of tough issues.

A PCUSA (Igreja Presbiteriana dos Estados Unidos) está no processo de sofrer uma grande divisão.
já era a hora dos protestaes prostestarem contra os erros!
viva a vox profetica da Igreja!

O Colarinho Clerical

Em 1827, o Rev. D. McLeod usou pela primeira vez o colarinho clerical. Rev. Dr. Donald MAcLeod, pastor Presbiteriano(Church of England's Enquiry Centre em 1894)inventou um dos modelos de camisas mais usadas pelos pastores do mundo, anglicanos, batistas, presbiterianos etc.

INFELISMENTE no Brasil temos uma cultura ante o colarinho clerical, criada pelo clima que os católicos também usam essa vestimenta. Mas quem inventou foi os protestantes e não eles os romanos.

Vamos usar esse belo uniforme de soldado de Cristo, sem medo ou preconceitos. esse uniforme é nosso dos protestantes.
