One of the actions of the committee I chaired for Synod this year (Theological and Social Concerns) was a report on the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and its own history with Race Relations and its current activities in that regard. I noticed this morning that the Aquila Report had published it and wanted to share it on the PB.

The Theological & Social Concerns Committee of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church presented an extensive report at the Synod, which met June 7-9, 2016, on the issue race relations and the ARP. In addition, the following motion was also approved overwhelmingly: “We, the General Synod of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church, do confess the sinful failings of our church in the past in regard to slavery and racism. We reaffirm that all people are made in the image of God. We also reaffirm our historic stance that the Gospel should be offered freely to all sinners regardless of race or ethnicity through the preaching and teaching of God’s holy, inerrant, and infallible Word.”
