Joe said,

"In other words just create another document addressing these concerns and to which future additions may be made. I think it would be great to have a document focused on such issues."

It seems as though we are in substantial agreement that it is not necessary, nor desirable to change the WCF. I agree with Joe. It is not this generations task to rewrite the historic confessions and creeds, however, it is our task to address the current heresies that threaten sound doctrine today.

How do the rest of you weigh in on the need for a document that directly addresses the current issues in Christendom today that threathen the Reformed church?

A couple other questions: what are the issues that the Reformed church should formally "protest" against? Do you think it could be addressed within the larger Reformed community or do you think it must be done denomination by denomination? One more; who do you think should serve on this kind of magisterium? Do you like the slate of men who are going to be involved in this conference in July?
