Rickard is charitable, referring to the practice in the abstract. It makes sense to do this, the purpose of the article is to demonstrate why this FFO variant is bad on principle. It's not hypothetical though: A sizable minority of Presbyterian churches are already doing this.
Great article from Thomas Rickard (@ThomasERickard) about how functional female officers (labeled non-ordained commissioned deaconesses in the article) diminish the diaconate: pcapolity.com/2026/04/23/dim…

Also, just so everyone is aware, several churches Jeffery Choi has held a leadership in did not wait for an BCO amendment or a "careful and charitable conversation" like this to pass in order to install deaconesses/female deacons. They have already done so. ⬇️
Now that Overture 37 is public, I’m hoping for a careful and charitable conversation about women ordained deacons. For me, this isn’t a culture-war issue but a question of biblical fidelity, authority, and how we understand the offices Christ gave the church—especially the diaconate as an office of service (pcaga.org/resources/#overtur…)

Apparently there was a clerical error during the posting of the overture. The language of the amendment is not affected, but it was missing the entire rationale section. The correct version can be found here: pcaga.org/wp-content/uploads…
#SaveThePCA The first overture related to functional female officers has been posted to pcaga.org/resources/#overtur… !
OVERTURE 14 from the Southwest Florida Presbytery, “Amend BCO 7-3, 7-4, 9-2, and 9-7 to Regarding Titles for Unordained People”

“Threat assessment: What could be a greater threat than subversive behavior stemming from duplicitous character? Calls for unity based on the lack of a shared commitment to anything meaningful are hollow. There will never be unity when some embrace our standards while others exploit them. We are called to be a people who do all things by faith; a people who mean what we say and say what we mean.”

This is an important and illuminating thread from some PCA heavyweights: Christian Masculinist @ZacharyGarris, Southern Presby @irishpresby, and fmr DASA Comm chair @PresbyterTim
Must-read material for those tracking the #SavethePCA thing that @thisisfoster kicked off.

The PCA has a shepherdess problem. @ZacharyGarris lays out the situation in the PCA in his full article linked in the reply.
