This was tried in the early 80's. After years of discussions between the OPC and the RPCES, someone suggested that they just join the PCA. Things progressed rather quckly. First the PCA needed to tender an invitation to the OPC and RPCES to join the PCA.

The invitation to the RPCES passed and the RPCES accepted. They coordinated their General Assemblies in Grand Rapids. The RPCES GA quickly voted to disband and they simply went to the PCA GA.

Because of a problem with a teacher at Westminster (Norman Shepherd it think) the vote to invite the OPC failed by one presbytery. (The OPC later defrocked Dr. Shepherd.)
