## Resource

Are the PCA and OPC schismatic churches, or were they right to separate from corrupt mainline denominations? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird discuss the theology of schism, ecclesiastical jurisdiction, Redeemed Zoomer’s argument for reconquering the PCUSA, and whether conservatives have a duty to remain inside broken institutions. They explore what constitutes a true church, when separation is justified, the difference between unity and compromise, the Old Testament temple argument, Presbyterian history in America, and why Christians should pursue real unity in faith, hope, and love without pretending doctrinal corruption does not matter.
