The move was approved by a vote of 1,089 to 793.<\/p>\n<p>The church argued that God created human beings as male and female and that Jesus Christ had warned against scandalizing children. They also cited multiple studies that show that the sex change procedures are \u201ca rejection of science,\u201d the studies also showed that the major 900% increase in gender dysphoria among girls in recent years is a result of \u201ccontemporary social, educational, and cultural influences.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cI think all churches are dealing with these issues, as we well know, because of the cultural push at this time to congratulate people who question their sexual identity,\u201d the Reverend Bryan Chapell told Fox News Digital. \u201cAll young people are certainly being subjected to that cultural push, but it in our view does not cohere with either science or Scripture.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fred Greco, the Reverend who had served as the moderator of the General Assembly, said that no one in the denomination supports the idea of transgenderism. He said that the reason behind the ones who voted against the petition was that the members had argued about how involved they should be in state affairs.<\/p>\n<p>However, Greco said that it passed because the actions of politicians and adults in regards to children are \u201cvery, very dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cWe have governmental officials saying not only do we have to press [children] to make these decisions, we have to allow them to do so without even the input of their parents. That\u2019s very, very dangerous,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that\u2019s what has gotten so many people concerned about it, and I think that also makes it rise to the level of a \u2018case extraordinary\u2019 \u2013 that it\u2019s not just a bad moral decision, it\u2019s something where the government is interfering with the rights of parents and allowing this to happen in an irreversible fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Greco was tasked with picking members of the commission that will draft the petition which will include several medical professionals and that the final version of the petition will be around two pages long. He added that the petition will avoid issues such as biological men in women\u2019s sport.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe issue would be solely about medical procedures and drugs that are involved with transitioning, especially with respect to minors,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause the idea there, obviously, is we don\u2019t speak to everything that people do when they\u2019re adults.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He went on to explain that the PCA also has congregations in Canada and that they are looking for ways to get the petition in \u201cfront of the Canadian government without violating our polity\u201d since the assembly had not officially approved a petition for the Canadian government as of yet.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cOur Canadian brothers have expressed some concern about how they can be involved and have their government a copy of this as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The PCA is the denomination of the church that is affiliated with the Covenant School in Tennessee where three children and three adults were gunned down in March.<\/p>\n<p>Stay informed!
