One of the oldest denominations in the United States has deposed and excommunicated a 42-year-old minister for his white supremacist views. Delegates from 17 congregations of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA) heard five hours of argument in a church outside of Pittsburgh on Jan. 24. Michael Spangler, a minister pushed out of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church for racism, praised the minister for his refusal to yield to church authority. “We condemn the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America,” Spangler wrote on X. The Reformed Presbyterian Church, founded in the U.S. in 1774, is mostly known as a denomination that rejects all modern worship music and hymns, insisting that Christians should exclusively sing psalms from Scripture.
