Auto-applied YELLOW + cultural=red downgrade. RED — current/recent senior pastor signed the 2020 Warhurst Protest (PCA pastors who protested the SJC's discipline of TE Greg Johnson over Revoice / same-sex-attracted ordained men). Cultural posture trends progressive on sexuality discourse.

Assessment

Redeemer Lincoln Square is one of the particularized congregations in the Redeemer Presbyterian family of NYC churches that emerged from Tim Keller's Redeemer Presbyterian Church. Located on the Upper West Side at the New York Society for Ethical Culture. Bruce O'Neil signed the 2020 Warhurst Protest. PCA polity intact (Metro NY Presbytery), Westminster soteriology, complementarian eldership. Men in Manhattan seeking a Redeemer-DNA PCA congregation should attend and verify pastoral counseling posture directly given the cultural-drift signal.
