Breakaway Presbyterians have asked for forgiveness from fellow believers who have not voted to split from the national church for distancing themselves during a period of "realignment."

As I understand it, the point of the statement is not to ask for forgiveness for breaking away, but for ensuring that, in the midst of difficult times and strong emotions, amends are made for any toes that have been stepped on or for any perceived neglect. I applaud the New Wineskins association for their sensitivity, and for their determination to stay faithful to God's calling.

I am disturbed and saddened by this story. I am a member of a Presbyterian congregation that has left the PCUSA for the EPC. I strongly believe that we have done no wrong and have no reason to ask for forgiveness.

It might be reasonable to ask for understanding, but forgiveness is not in order. If anyone should request forgiveness, it should be the PCUSA which has veered into apostasy and violated its sacred trust.

We have adhered to Scripture as our guide for faith and practice. For that, I will never feel called to ask for forgiveness.
