World Reformed Fellowship Theological Consultation on Denominationalism in a Post-Christian Context

I serve on the Board of Directors for the World Reformed Fellowship and had the pleasure of organizing a recent theological consultation of North American Reformed church leaders to discuss Reformed denominations and denominationalism in our post-Christian context. The write up on the consultation can be found here, at the WRF site.

I am proud that we were able to get leaders from eight (!) different Reformed denominations in the same room and charitably and robustly engage one another. From the write up, “The goal of the consultation was not to rehash all of the same debates that have characterized Reformed churches, resulting in many different denominations, but to spark fresh ways to consider the topic and foster cooperation considering our current cultural moment. The goal was not to resolve our differences, but to speak to Christ’s call for oneness from our differing positions.” I think we did that successfully, and I am optimistic that this is the first of many steps encouraging greater Reformed, confessional cooperation across denominational lines.
