If 10-A (overturning “Fidelity/Chastity”) passes: 

 Protesting evangelical Presbyterians need to seriously consider several courses of action, none of them new to our conversation: 

1.  Unless you are in a supportive Presbytery, withhold all per capita.  In supportive presbyteries, withhold above presbytery.  Withholding will allow other tectonic changes occur which must occur. 

2. Redirect all "Special Offerings"—One Great Hour, etc.—to other valued mission projects.

3.  Influence your presbytery.  It's too late to isolate—if you have strong-willed and influential members, get them onto committees that matter.  

4.  Educate your session as to opportunities and openings for GA councils and committees. Too few evangelicals care to serve on liberally-dominated committees. Staying away only solidifies the imbalance.

5. If you haven't already, purge your church of any/all PCUSA resources, curricula, and/or other materials. Do you really need that calendar?

6.  Mobilize evangelicals within your presbytery and organize a PLAN of influence. 

7.  Organize a presbytery PLAN to guide fair discernment—one that keeps property out of the center—for congregations that feel called to reaffiliate with another Reformed denomination. 

8.  Organize a writing group to draft new legislation:  flood the the next GA with quality overtures. I know how this leaves so many people cold, but in the life of the PCUSA, legislation equals language, and we need to speak it as well.

9.  Rename your congregation—at least remove the word Presbyterian from all literature and signage. It might improve your outreach.

10.  Don't be buffaloed by those who will accuse you of being "angry" or "divisive"—they brought this on, and let's be clear: there is a them, have no shame in saying so. 

11.  Network, organize, and gather with others—locally and nationally—who similarly grieve this decision and let's prayerfully discern God's will for us all, be it fight or flight.  

In time and with God's help, it can all be turned.  Evangelical churches have had the uncanny ability to grow and reproduce their ministries, something less evident in the progressive churches.  Like the story of the two rabbits who found themselves chased into a hollow log and surrounded by wolves: one looks to the other and says, "Now what do we do?"  The other says, "Let's just stay here until we outnumber them."

Think about that last one twice.
