I was just looking on the ACE website and noticed that the Alliance Council has be reconstituted. Gone are almost all the Anglicans and Lutherans and more liturgically-minded Reformed (e.g., Horton) and in their place a panoply of Reformed Baptists. Weird. Explains why they changed the “R” in PCRT back to “Reformed” from “Reformational.”
They say: “Our reconstituted Council, comprised of leading pastor-theologians who reflect major ecclesiastical and ministry networks in the Reformed community, is theologically, methodologically, and pastorally coherent.”

BHers,
Any indicator this was deliberate or simply a case of those former members refocusing themselves on other ministries. These big movement things seem to run out of gas at some point, but a remnant always wants to keep them alive.
Anybody know Michael Horton? I heard him on several tapes from the Ligonier panoply and he comes across there as shrill as a speaker. Keith Mathison quotes him at several points in his book Given For You. Is he someone sympathetic to where a church developing BH sympathies is going? Or is he anti in some place I have not encountered him yet?
