 Some Brief Thoughts on the PCA report on Women in the Church 

 The PCA committee reports on the role of women in the church will doubtless cause some controversy when it is reported to this year's general assembly. Although I have no idea why! It is balanced, biblical and gives a variety of different viewpoints whilst providing clear teaching and guidance for the denomination.

 Discussing the “Undiscussable” -  A Response to the PCA Report on Women in Ministry

I have read the report on Women in Ministry to be considered at this year's PCA General Assembly. The Biblical and historical material was thorough and well written. I do want to make a few observations that I trust will be helpful.

 Wise and Charitable Complementarianism - A Response to the PCA Study Committee Report 

I am grateful for the edifying and judicious work of the PCA study committee on the role of women serving in ministry in the church. From where I sit it struck a wonderful balance, though I suspect- and understand- that folks at each end of the continuum on the issue will be left wanting more.

WRF Member John Wilson Asks, "How Much Are You Spending in God's Beautiful Garden?"

WRF Member John Wilson Asks, "How Much Are You Spending in God's Beautiful Garden?"

I always thought it was a curious and lumbering name for a Christian organisation – but I never questioned it. It had always been there, or so it seemed to a six year old: the British and Foreign Bible Society. I knew for sure that I was British so, I wondered, who were the foreigners?
