Classis Southwest US Convenes at Christ Reformed

Christ Reformed Church is hosting Classis Southwest US (of the URCNA) this Tuesday and Wednesday (January 22-23).  I'm not a delegate this time (my compatriot, Guy De Brasil is our minister delegate), but I'm participating in three ordination exams, including that of Mr. Andrew Compton, who is a member of our church and a recent graduate of Westminster Seminary California.  Andrew has a great blog, which can be found here:  Click here: Confessional Reformed Contemplations

So, I'll be tied up Tuesday and Wednesday with church duties and won't be able to blog.  Lord willing, I'll be back on Thursday.  If you are interested in attending classis (visitors are welcome) or just curious as to what goes on, Click here: Christ Reformed Info - Location and Agenda.  We will not be able to show you the secret handshake, however.

Please pray for those men taking their exams, and for wisdom for our churches as we meet to conduct the business of our classis.

Is the Robert Godfrey listed in the agenda, the son of Dr. Godfrey?

Westminster Seminary California...One major weakness of this sem is the lack of instruction in historic liturgy! At the minimum, a course making use of Cranmer's and Luther's reform of the Mass would be helpful, and maybe make us less sectarian in the process!

rcurry71, Yeshe is Dr. goodfrey's son. I saw some ofthe ordination exams. Boy I would not want to be in their place. Though but fair questions.

Andrew Compton looked ready and prepared. He did a great job. Tomorrow He well finish the ordination exam.

Go Andrew

Charlie, I disagree with your critique of WSCAL. As a recent graduate I can testify that we had a number of opportunities to be lectured in historic liturgy, in both the pastoral (practical) theology department, as well as in the church history department, most notably with Daryl Hart, who took great pains to instill within his students an appreciation for Calvin's liturgy in Geneva.

I don't understand why we would want to utilize Luther's reform of the mass?!? We're Reformed, not Lutherans or Anglicans.
