Dear William,

well, I thought I might as well ask some questions here. Maybe you can answer them.

I note the REC has recently agreed plans to merge with the APA. Am I right in understanding the APA is Anglo-Catholic in theology? If this is so what has motivated this tie-up amongst the REC and what place does an evangelical doctrine of scripture and salvation hold in its churches?

As an aside, are you aware of the schism which has recently occurred within the REC's sister denomination in England, the Free Church of England? If so, can you shed any light on it?

Please note this post is not intended as an attack on the REC being historically reformed in character. It is focussing on present actions of the REC which seem to call its reformed character into question.

I look forward to your comments.

In Christ,

James.
