Why I Do Not--and, Why I Do--Support the Belhar Confession

At the 2009 General Synod, the Reformed Church in America approved the Belhar Confession as a new doctrinal standard of the church. According to RCA order and government, the Belhar Confession is now sent to each classis (the local assembly) where two-thirds of them must approve it. As those votes take place, and sibling denominations discuss and evaluate Belhar, we offer two perspectives on it. The Belhar Confession can be read at www.rca.org/BelharConfession.
