Racism and the EPC

Send us Fan MailThe Evangelical Presbyterian Church  recently released a document entitled “A Pastoral Letter of Racial Lament and Hope.” The paper is a pastoral word to the denomination regarding racism and the EPC’s response to this very real and serious problem. The paper was disseminated to churches in the EPC for review as well as response.  The Stated Clerk of the EPC offered comments about the paper here.  Peter Chace, Kyle Bennett, and Nate Devlin all read the paper and  found it to be significantly problematic. They believe the paper reflects much of the wisdom found in the prevailing culture, borrowing substantially from the popular modern notion of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and secular “anti-racisms” rhetoric. The paper seems to be yet another piece of evidence that the EPC continues its slide toward theological and cultural liberalism.https://theparrhesians.com/
