For what it's worth, I am a Calvinist. I am also relatively new to the faith. But in any case, I was having a lively discussion with my more left-leaning and (sort of) Roman Catholic father who loves me (and vice versa) but very much disagrees with my Reformed Presbyterian sensibilities, in which I was...

Just curious what distinguishes the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC) from the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA) (the denomination to which, in interest of full disclosure, I belong)… Some things I am finding from cursory research: Women deacons (OPC no, RPCNA yes)...

I am doing some reading on the mediatorial kingship debate, and it seems that much, if not all, of the writing on the subject is either Reformed Presbyterian or in agreement with them. Are you aware of any critiques of the doctrine - preferably from establishmentarians, but others can be...

I found these two articles on "Gentle Reformation" regarding the Reformed Presbyterian mission in Syria highly interesting. 100 Years of Reformed Presbyterian Missions in Syria (Part 1 of 2) 100 Years of Reformed Presbyterian Missions in Syria (Part 2 of 2) In two notes of only partial...

The Form of Presbyterian Church Government set at the Westminster Assembly, in it's Directory for the Ordination of Ministers, says: Do any of the Presbyterian Churches or Seminaries still have this or a similar requirement? Perhaps some of the more conservative ones that still hold the Form...

Here is a recap of last weeks meeting of the synod of the RPCNA: https://gentlereformation.com/2023/06/24/what-happened-at-rpcna-synod-2023/

"Dr. Andrew Quigley from Ottawa, brought a petition to form the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Canada. The Canadian churches who desire to join would form their own denomination, distinct from the RPCNA, complete with their own constitution. This request passed and a committee to assist the...

I was working a little bit on my long-term project of the history of the RPCNA psalter and found something I thought was fascinating. In 1882 the RPCNA synod appointed a committee to revise the 1650 Psalter with some verbal corrections and suitable music. This was completed in 1899. The goal...

Hello everyone, I am considering joining an RPCNA church plant (currently a member in the OPC), and have some questions regarding the state of the denomination. I have got the impression that, outside of exclusive psalmnody and non-instrumentation, the RPCNA seems to be less conservative than...

This psalter still has and will always have a solid place in my heart: I was first introduced to the singing of psalms using this psalter and many of the words will remain indelibly engraved in my mind. This psalter is available for purchase from Crown and Covenant Publications. Background...

I've been curious as to the history of the RPCNA psalters. My current understanding is that there was originally a minor revision to the SMV along with some additional versions that were published in a split-leaf in 1889, this was revised more thoroughly in 1911, and then minor changes to music...

I remember the my excitement and anticipation (for several years) surrounding the new Psalter for my denomination (RPCNA). I knew the committee had been working on it for years and when it was finally printed and I got to see the preview copies given at synod I was very impressed. Now the dust...

FYI: The Great Lakes & Gulf Presbytery of the RPCNA is holding an ordination and installation service at Southfield Reformed Presbyterian Church in the greater Detroit area this Friday (3/30/12) at 7pm. Adam Kuehner (that's me :)) will be ordained and installed as pastor, with Rev. Jeff...

I have posted an initial review of the new The ARP Psalter with Bible Songs at The Ruling Elder. Overall, I think this is a good work and pray that it will be used to reinvigorate the singing of Psalms in the ARP and beyond. Read the review, here: The Ruling Elder: The ARP Psalter with Bible...
