Puritan Board Freshman
What's your view on Advent Wreaths/Candles--in the sanctuary, on the Lord's Day, with the candles burning during the worship of Yahweh?
Is it a violation of WLC 109? It seems clear to me that it is, but there is much dissent in the PCA. Even here in Ascension Presbytery, the opinion is divided.
I'd be curious to know if the OPC is more stringent on this one. I imagine the RPCNA is fully against the practice.
I'm currently trying to convince my Session to abolish the practice, can the Christmas tree, and lose the banners of "baby Jesus". The banners are obvious violations. I've been here 11 years, and have moved slowly in a former PCUSA church, but my conscience cannot abide it any longer. Ironically, the tree seems to be the easiest to dispose of, yet it's likely the least egregious infraction as it doesn't image the Godhead at all.
