A question regarding this excerpt from the confession: "And particular churches, which are members thereof, are more or less pure, according as the doctrine of the gospel is taught and embraced, ordinances administered, and public worship performed more or less purely in them."
IN his dissertation, Peter Wallace states: "The phrase 'particular churches' commonly referred to the national or regional churches such as the Church of Scotland, or the Church of Saxony."
Is this right? In PCA parlance, the term "particular church" normally means a local congregation.
Thanks
