The Presbyterian Church of Australia (PCA) was constituted in 1901 by the union of the various state Presbyterian bodies. After the 1977 formation of the Uniting Church drew off its more liberal and ecumenical streams, what remained and has since consolidated is a confessional, broadly Reformed Presbyterian body holding the Westminster Confession as a substantive doctrinal standard. The PCA ordains only men and maintains biblical sexual ethics. AskCredo places it in the A-tier as a confessionally Reformed Presbyterian body in the British Reformed stream, with some internal variation in worship and on continuationism.
