Preaching & Worship

“Ashland Seminary is to be commended for their success in planning an event of this quality and breadth. It worthily extends the work of the conferences on the concept of the believers church by attracting contributions from a wider constituency and tackling for the first time one of the basic themes of ecclesiology. This conversation opens well the new study needed to free our understanding of the Lord’s Supper from the shackles imposed on it by the ‘substance’ debates among the official churches during the Reformation.”
