It is essential to underscore a governing statement about everything that we have just said: Nothing that distinguishes PEARUSA’s voice is in conflict with the overriding convictions and commitments of ACNA. We do not bring a discordant voice but a complementary, strengthening voice. In fact, everything we believe and practice echoes what many in ACNA already believe and practice. If this were not so, there would not be such enthusiasm from both ACNA and PEARUSA for the development of the protocols to govern PEARUSA as a subjurisdiction of ACNA.
