Search Google for “Orthodusty” and what comes up? This blog, and a few other blogs, and a couple of Doug Wilson things.<\/p>\n

This is one, an article from Volume 10:2 of Credenda Agenda:www.credenda.org\/issues\/10-2presbyterion.php<\/a><\/p>\n

So when was Volume 10 out? Somewhere around 1998 as far as I can figure.<\/p>\n

So is he calling some congregations, in the way their worship is presented, in the Presbyterian Reformed tradition, as “China figurines on a a shelf?” Then there’s the dusty comments early in the article. It’s two ways — two extremes — if you aren’t in the middle doing it the right way as he is. Well, it seems his disdain for some groups of Christians, as is evident in the way he wrote this article, from back then has become real in that it’s most evident who he now means is like that. The RPCUS? How may that be so? Is that jumping to conclusions? No.<\/p>\n

Check out that article, then check out: A Short Credo on Orthodusty<\/a> that Wilson wrote not long ago, or at least published not long ago. It’s under the page entitled The Ongoing Discussion Between The Reformed Presbyterian Church of the United States and Christ Church of Moscow, Idaho<\/a>, where you can find all the other Credo’s and sundry items of recent times as well.<\/p>\n

If he’s not talking to the Warfield list, which maybe he’s not, he is definitley talking to the RPCUS churches. If that’s denied, then perhaps he could be persuaded to change the way those Credo’s are on that page. Give the page a new title, then give the page subtitles with actual<\/i> R.P.C.U.S. dialog under a particular heading, and the sundry items to “anyone who fits the bill” under another subtitle. Or is it that the title is all that’s needed, how it’s configured now is fine?<\/p>\n

Come on over to any of the RPCUS churches and you’ll see worship that’s acceptable by God. And you’ll see that we are not dusty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
