TEs Scott Cook & David Strain discuss the social pressures that led the ARP & RPCNA to begin ordaining women as well as their own history in denominations that ordain women.

Missippi Valley Presbytery also sent up an overture calling the PCA to join with other NAPARC communions to seek revival in our land and churches.
