Good news from the RPCNA. White supremacist former pastor excommunicated

Former RPCNA pastor Sam Ketcham was deposed and excommunicated according to the Roys Report: https://julieroys.com/reformed-presbyterians-excommunicate-white-supremacist-minister/

One hopes that this was done because his actual racist beliefs are at odds with the RPCNA, which has a history of being anti-slavery and anti-racism (although non-racist on paper and in practice are two separate things!), and not because he was not properly meek and repentant in front of his peers.

Notably, Ketcham has teamed up with fellow excommunicated racist and misogynist Michael Spangler to push their white supremacist views. I wonder how they worship a savior of an inferior race... but I guess one must have a unique level of skill in cognitive dissonance to hold both scriptural inerrancy and racism in the same system of doctrine.

Spangler was tried along with a few others for spewing misogynistic hatred in a Facebook group called "The Genevan Commons". The others mostly kissed the Presbytery ring and got off with a hand slap, but Spangler doubled down on his comments and was disciplined more severely.
