The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Evangelical Presbyterian Church

I can’t help bragging a little when I tell folks that we may be the most-friendly Presbyterians you will find. I really can’t prove that and I’m sure other Presbyterian denominations are just as gracious as we are. But when we started our denomination in 1981 we determined that on the basic essentials of the Christian faith, we would not disagree, but on anything that was not essential, such as the issue of ordaining women as officers or practicing charismatic gifts, we would give each other liberty. Above all, we committed ourselves to loving each other and not engaging in quarrels and strife. The result is that when we get together in our regional and national meetings, we spend most of our time in worship and fellowship and almost none in arguing with each other.
