Nothing came of it except some somewhat kind dialogue and small talk and a question about whether Clark ever met Jim Jones the Kool-Aid cult murderer guy.
Clark himself wasn't like that, though some of his disciples give that impression. I'm in a Clarkian facebook group and they are bemoaning the lack of any true churches in the area (i.e., those that teach faith = intellectual assent).
And I am not attacking Clark or even Clarkians. Some of Van Til's disciples can be just as cultish.
Taken in the most charitable light since I've got nothing else to go on, I think the Indianapolis connection may be how Jim Jones figured into the conversation. (Some may not be aware that Jones started out in Indianapolis, then moved to SF and on to Jonestown.)
Trying to revive this thread some. See the following conference info and comment if the Spirit so leads you. Danke!
The Reformation of Apologetics Conference by the Reformed Forum guys, brethren...
"This year marks the five-hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation. Yet 2017 also marks the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Cornelius Van Til. In this conference, we will seek to demonstrate how Van Til consistently applied the theological principles of the Reformation to apologetics. We will then proceed to argue that covenantal apologetics, best exemplified by Van Til, is the necessary development and true heir of the Reformation."
Clark not exactly the true heir?
