I don't like the idea of a re-write of the WCF, but a document on issues concerning the church in the last two centuries may be well worth it. How it would be implemented into church bodies, and who would be selected might be a nightmare, especially on the selection of scholars. I'm sure what is developed as a working document would need approval from the various denominations.

Would the document on essentials of the Christian faith written around 1912 be what we have in mind. I know plenty of people referring to it, but it is not in any of the official denominational standards, AFAIK.

What was the denominational makeup at the time of Westminster? I assume there were much more of a consensus at the time it was written. It may not be possibly today, to write such a confession.
