Ferguson Book Reviews 269 DESCRIPTION Themelios is an international evangelical theological journal that expounds and defends the historic Christian faith. Its primary audience is theological students and pastors, though scholars read it as well. It was formerly a print journal operated by RTSF/UCCF in the UK, and it became a digital journal operated by The Gospel Coalition in 2008. The new editorial team seeks to preserve representation, in both essayists and reviewers, from both sides of the Atlantic. Themelios is published three times a year exclusively online at www.theGospelCoalition.org. It is presented in two formats: PDF (for citing pagination) and HTML (for greater accessibility, usability, and infiltration in search engines). Themelios is copyrighted by The Gospel Coalition. Readers are free to use it and circulate it in digital form without further permission (any print use requires further written permission), but they must acknowledge the source and, of course, not change the content.

    Position Statement Has Been Endorsed by Nearly 2,500 Churches and Other Nonprofit Organizations

    Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability 440 West Jubal Early Drive, Suite 100 ● Winchester, VA 22601 July 17, 2018 To: Members of Congress Re: Nonprofit Parking Tax The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law on December 22, 2017, contains a troubling provision that applies federal income tax to parking benefits provided by tax‐exempt organizations to their employees. Newly added Section 512(a)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code states, “Unrelated business taxable income of an organization shall be increased by any amount for which a deduction is not allowable…by reason of section 274 and which is paid or incurred by such organization for any…parking facility used in connection with qualified parking…The Secretary shall issue such…guidance as may be necessary…including regulations or other guidance providing for the appropriate allocation of depreciation and other costs with respect to facilities used for parking…” Tax practitioners who have evaluated Section 512(a)(7) generally believe that the result of this new provision is that tax‐exempt organizations that provide parking to their employees will be subject to unrelated business income tax on the cost of the parking provided. A nonprofit organization that simply allows its employees to park in a parking lot or garage that is part of the organization’s facilities will be subject to a tax on the cost of the parking provided. How the parking costs must be measured remains to be addressed in the “regulations or other guidance” to be issued by the IRS. To apply this new requirement, nonprofit employers and their accountants must have guidance addressing exceedingly complex questions of allocations of basis, depreciation, and rent payments among different structures and between employee and non‐employee users.

  • Proposal from the Study Group on Theological Education

    Proposal from the Study Group on Theological Education

    Grace Presbytery Policy on Theological Education Adopted by Grace Presbytery on April 20, 2013 Persons who are considering beginning the inquiry process and their sessions are encouraged to contact the Committee on Preparation for Ministry as soon as possible so that policies can be fully articulated and understood early in the process. Ordination is an action of the wider church, and the decision of seminary is an important part of the process. To allow complete preparation and readiness to serve as a Teaching Elder, we encourage persons considering the process of coming under care to work in consultation with their home churches, their pastor, their session, and the Committee on Preparation for Ministry when deciding where to attend seminary. The Committee on Preparation for Ministry will walk with inquirers to assist in tailoring their education so that they fully explore their calling and receive the preparation required to serve that call. We are here to support inquirers and candidates in discerning and preparing for their paths of service. The following shall be components of the seminary education for all persons under care in Grace Presbytery who are seeking ordination as Teaching Elders: Master of Divinity degree, or its equivalent, including the following: PCUSA Polity Systematic theology including intentional study of reformed theology and theologians A course in Worship and the Sacraments All other specific education requirements as listed in the Book of Order: G- 2.0607c: “A transcript from a theological institution accredited by the Association of Theological Schools acceptable to the presbytery, showing a course of study including Hebrew and Greek, exegesis of Old and New Testaments using Hebrew and Greek, satisfactory grades in all areas of study, and graduation or proximity to graduation.” Preference is given to PCUSA schools and to those with PCUSA programs of study, led by PCUSA Teaching Elders.
