SPAM-ATTACK!

The Returning Church blog has finally succumb to the SPAM ATTACK and much declare defeat! No, this is not the end of the Returning Church (see an interesting discussion about that on the Returning Church facebook page), but it does mean this avenue of communication is going to be ceased. The number of spam comments overwhelms any legit comments - it's become too cumbersome to manage. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We will keep the information and previous posts on this blog out there in cyber-space - so please stop back for reference. But any active discussions will be happening over at our facebook page - join us there. If you don't have facebook, join just for the Returning Church discussions. You control how sucked-in to the rest of facebook world you get.

Go to www.facebook.com, search for "Returning Church" and ask to join the group - you'll be in. You can also keep in touch by joining the email list - just send an email to returningchurch@yahoo.com. Speaking of keeping in touch - please do.

More on the Belhar...

In seeking for the CRC to be a confessional church, the proposed Belhar Confession certainly rises to the top of the issues discussed. We hope to pass along various resources evaluating the Belhar and balancing some of the information that has been passed on to the congregations in the CRC already. If we are to truly study and evaluate it, we need to have good information.

Below are two resources that will be beneficial to the discussion:

Belhar Overture - from Riverside CRC in Wellandport, ON
"Why Not Belhar?" - essay by Rev. Kevin De Young for Reformed Perspectives
