So, the global, liberal body of "Reformed" churches, the WCRC, has declared theological peace with Rome. In sum:
“We rejoice together that the historical doctrinal differences on the doctrine of justification no longer divide us.”
I am an EPC elder and I admit, to my shame, that I didn't know the EPC was a member of the WCRC. I am not surprised (saddened, but not surprised) that mainline "Reformed" churches would end up here. However, the EPC is - even if not consistently Reformed - at least conservatively evangelical, and I cannot conceive of how a bone fide evangelical denomination could agree with the quote above vis-a-vis the Roman Catholic understanding of justification!
Anyone on the PB know anything about this "historic" development beyond what the article states? Or about the EPC position on the matter? Living out of the country, I am often out of the denominational loop...
