Some of you may have seen this important article over at The Gospel Coalition about the decline and relocation of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) by Collin Hansen, who is a graduate of the school.

Why I can be a part of The Gospel Coalition as a confessional Presbyterian (and some thoughts on posts at TGC that contradict my confessional commitments) Recently, as I was posting some notes and an outline of Samuel Miller’s wonderful little essay defending and commending the church’s use of creeds and confessions, a social media interlocutor asked me a completely fair question: “how could I promote confessionalism, and be a Westminster Confession-subscribing minister in a Presbyterian church, and at the same time be a part of and…
