Subject: Mo Presbytery
I’m leaving with Mark for presbytery in a few moments. I just wanted to remind you all to pray for us. He should be on the floor in the middle of the afternoon.
Thanks!

a word from the godfather
“I just thought the juxtaposition of the Keller quotes with Jordan’s/Leithart’s was interesting and worthy of discussion — especially since some sort of synthesis seems likely. It’s been at the back of my mind as a point for discussion for years.” — Rich Lusk
“Another one of my favorite guys has also taken down some of his stuff and has retired from the blogosphere because it is so, you know, mean. Translated from the FV, that means that they’ve been uncovered and they need to lie low until the dust settles and institutional inertia can take effect. Hiding what you really are behind protestations that others are breaking the 9th? How precious is that? Evidently, the 9th means exactly what they say it means — nothing more and nothing less. Truth hurts. Maybe if the FV [men] worried more about the true gospel and less about the color of their gowns, sashes and stoles, we wouldn’t be where we are now.” — Eileen
“Generally one doesn’t dog the Westminster Assembly as ‘weak’ and get along well in Presby circles. . . . Now if we could just get everybody to read the latest issue of Credenda.” — DP Cassidy
a well-documented history
book review
“Well, the inevitable finally happened with content from the 2005 Biblical Horizons list recently made public on an anonymous Yahoo blog. I don’t know how much material from Biblical Horizons will make its way to the web, but what has come out thus far has proven embarrassing to some, including a dear friend within my own church.” — David Bayly
“Yet, not everyone has seen the FV for what it is. Some FV advocates have protested that there is no difference between what they promote and Westminsterian Calvinism. Others have asserted, absurdly, that there is no ‘FV movement.’ The BH list shows those things to be false, and, in that, it is useful. One would hope that TE’s Wilkins, Meyers and Leithart made these emails available to the various committees charged with examining their views.” — Ken Pierce

The YAHOO! Cam captured James Jordan’s reaction to the news that his beloved list went public:
“If you want to keep something secret, don’t put it on the internet.”
— Johannes Weslianus
“The most interesting aspect of the discussions has been the way they regard and describe their critics. I won’t try to describe the rhetoric. It’s better that you read it for yourself.”
— R. Scott Clark

NEW WINE — IT'S POISON!
“Oh, it’s true enough: We depart from the whole Reformation tradition at certain pretty basic points. It’s no good pretending otherwise. I think the PCA is perfectly within its rights to say no to all BH types. We are NOT traditional presbyterians. The PCA suffers us within itself, but we are poison to traditional presbyterianism.” — James B. Jordan
