On Tuesday March 24, FEB Central held their AGM. It was a time of encouragement as we heard reports of what Christ is doing through His churches across the region. Naturally, pastors and churches were eager to learn more about the CCT process. For this, FEBN President, Steve Jones, was interviewed by FEBC Regional Director, Tom Haines. It is equally natural for leadership to want to ‘steady the ship’ in tumultuous theological times. However, there are more helpful and less helpful ways to bring assurance. In an informal interview format Tom asked Steve some common questions about the matter.
…
Firstly, words require definition. Unless he is using a very different definition, Steve cannot say we are “convictionally complementarian” when recent months have clearly revealed that we are not. It isn’t simply that we apply our complementarianism differently; we aren’t all complementarian. Organizational unity must not be sought via ambiguity at the expense of truth. Clarity is kindness.
Secondly, it is difficult to imagine that the CCT’s first round of meetings went off without a hitch when a sizeable portion are or support egalitarian practices and would not agree with our ’97 position statement.
