The Bayly brothers have a post about the plight of Lauren Richardson of Deleware. Apparently Heritage (Delaware) Presbytery couldn’t muster a majority vote on “a simple statement opposing the murder-by-starvation of 23-year-old Delaware resident Lauren Richardson.” They express unbelief and label the opposing voters pusillanimous.
Man are the Bayly brothers right! What has become of us? Here is David Bayly’s concluding paragraph:
Here’s a hint for the ignorant: when food and water are all that’s needed to maintain life, withdrawing them is no different than placing a plastic bag over a quadriplegic’s head. Sadly, but perhaps unsurprisingly, a majority of PCA elders within Heritage Presbytery can’t see this. God help us when the state demands that we perform homosexual marriages and the personal cost to PCA elders of biblical fidelity is far higher than in the Lauren Richardson case. Pusillanimity is a terminal condition which respects no borders.
Shame on us. Read the post and about Lauren here. And, pray that God would protect this young woman’s life.
