On motion requests to excuse Mr. Spooner after the Tuesday morning session and Mr. Son after the Thursday sessions were granted. Mr. Ellis presented a report for the Committee on Arrangements. Mr. Mitchell presented the report of the Stated Clerk. On motion that part of the report listing ministers in non-pastoral charges was ordered included in the Minutes without being read orally. The report is as follows: THIRTY-SIXTHGENERAL ASSEMBLY 5 REPORT OF THE STATED CLERK The Minutes of the Thirty-fifth General Assembly are presented herewith. The Minutes were published in September 1968 and copies were distributed to all ministers and sessions as well as to other churches with which the Orthodox Presbyterian Church is in correspondence. The Clerk has noted several typographical errors, and calls attention to the following correction in the record: on page 104, at the middle of the page, the total estimated costs for radio program production, given in the supplementary report of the Committee on Radio and Television, should read $21,637 instead of $12,637. The Clerk has also conducted such correspondence as the duties of the office require. In particular, at the instruction of the Thirty-fifth General Assembly, the Clerk has cor- responded with the Reformed Churches in New Zealand and has received from them their Acts of Synod of 1967 containing various reports and papers on the subject of the Sabbath; the Synod has not concluded its study, but awaits the report of a special study committee due to report late in 1969. In accordance with the instructions of the Thirty-fifth General Assembly the Clerk has prepared a docket that includes a minimum of 33 hours for debate. The additional time tentatively proposed for consideration of the report of the Committee on Revisions to the Form of Government has not been docketed since that committee is not prepared to present its completed report to the Thirty-sixth General Assembly. The docket and printed reports to the Thirty-sixth General Assembly were mailed to ministers and clerks of sessions on May 6, 1969, two weeks prior to the opening of the Assembly. The Clerk has acted as agent for the denomination in endorsing applicants for service in the chaplaincy of the military services and has performed such other duties as are re- quired by Rules 19 and 20 of the Standing Rules of the General Assembly.

    REDEEMING PHILOSOPHY REDEEMING WHO AM I? WHY AM I HERE? WHERE DO I FIND MEANING? Life is full of big questions. The study of philosophy seeks to answer such questions. In his latest book, prolific author Vern Poythress investigates the foundations and limitations of Western philosophy, sketching a distinctly Christian approach to A God-Centered Approach answering basic questions about the nature of humanity, the existence of God, the search for meaning, and the basis for morality. to the Big Questions For Christians eager to engage with the timeless philosophical issues that have perplexed men and women for millennia, this is the place to begin. “This volume makes a timely and welcome contribution to the age-old debate on the relationship between Christian theology and philosophy. I commend Redeeming Philosophy to all concerned with ‘taking every thought captive to obey Christ.’” RICHARD B.

This book contains a great deal of fresh thinking and REDEEMING careful Christian philosophical work.” JOHN M. FRAME, J. D.

  • A Half Century of Reformed Scholarship
    WTJ 50 (1988) 247-256 A HALF-CENTURY OF REFORMED SCHOLARSHIP MOÏSES SILVA ELEBRATING fifty years of anything invites reflection, Cand we will, I hope, be pardoned for indulging ourselves upon completing the fiftieth volume of a scholarly journal. The character and purpose of our publication were clearly set forth by its initial editors. Readers who have no access to the first issue may appreciate my quoting the introductory statement in full: If we are not mistaken (and editors, like others, sometimes make mis­ takes), more periodicals are dying than are being born at the present time. The Westminster Theological Journal in sending out its first issue is, therefore, going against the current of the times. It is doing that in a more important sense, however, than merely by the fact of publication. The Journal is founded upon the conviction that the Holy Scriptures are the word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and of practice, and that the system of belief commonly designated the Reformed Faith is the purest and most consistent formulation and expression of the system of truth set forth in the Holy Scriptures. This position is the position of the Faculty of Westminster Theological Seminary, and the Journal is edited by two members of that Faculty on behalf of the entire body. We stand today in the Christian Church as debtors to nineteen centuries of Christian history, thought, and experience. It would not only be futile but wrong to try to dissociate ourselves from the great stream of Christian tradition. Other men laboured and we have entered into their labours.

  • Ronald T. Clutter, "The Reorganization of Princeton
    Grace Theological Journal 7.2 (1986) 179- 201 THE REORGANIZATION OF PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY RECONSIDERED RONALD T. CLUTTER The reorganization of Princeton Theological Seminary, leading to the withdrawal of J. Gresham Machen, Oswald T. Allis, Cornelius Van Til, and Robert Dick Wilson, is identified often as a triumph of modernism in its conflict with fundamentalism in the churches in the 1920s. However, a consideration of the situation at Princeton and of the events which took place within and outside the institution leads to a different conclusion. The controversy at Princeton involved evangelical Presbyterians, all claiming loyalty to the tradition of the seminary. The conflict arose due to competing philosophies of seminary education and differing solutions for dealing with liberalism in the denomination. In this confrontation, pitting one evangelical faction against another, Prince­ ton Seminary suffered privately and publicly. The denomination was called upon to assist in resolving the problem. The solution enacted by the denomination resulted in the departure from the seminary ofsome of the most capable defenders of the evangelicalfaith. * * * INTRODUCTION T the centennial celebration of Princeton Theological Seminary in A 1912, institution president, Francis Landey Patton, declared that "the theological position of Princeton Seminary has remained un­ changed.'" At the sesquicentennial celebration, H~gh T. Kerr stated: "It is no secret that many contemporary professors at the seminary feel completely out of touch theologically with their predecessors of a generation or more ago on such issues as Biblical criticism, apolo­ getics, the sacraments, and the interpretation of the Westminster IFrancis Landey Patton.

  • The Scope and Limits of Van Til's Transcendental Argument
    http://www.christianciv.com/The_Scope_and_Limits_of_VTAG.pdf THE SCOPE AND LIMITS OF VAN TIL’S TRANSCENDENTAL ARGUMENT: A RESPONSE TO JOHN FRAME Michael H. Warren, Jr. Last revised 9/19/2015 Table of Contents Page I. The Whole of Christian Theism by a Single Argument 2 II. Christian Theism as a Unit (CTU) 19 III. TAG as Natural Revelation 27 IV. The Legitimate Role of Empirical Evidence in Van Til’s Approach 43 V. Intersystemic and Intrasystemic Responses to False Faiths 57 The questions that I address in this essay have been asked by a number of people, but the main source is John Frame, who was a student under Cornelius Van Til before succeeding him as professor of apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary. Frame is sympathetic to Van Til’s approach to apologetics, but he has published a number of criticisms of Van Til which have been found persuasive by many other Christians interested in apologetics – Christians both anti-Van Til and sympathetic to Van Til’s approach to apologetics. Frame says that he rejects Van Til’s claim of a single transcendental argument to prove the Biblical God. Instead, he calls for a “presuppositionalism of the heart” that involves using a number of different arguments, including the traditional ones that Van Til rejects, all with the transcendental goal of honoring the sovereignty of God. In this essay I address one of his main arguments for his position: Proving every element of Christian theism with one argument is unrealistic, so multiple arguments should be allowed.1 1 See John Frame, Apologetics to the Glory of God: An Introduction (Phillipsburg, N.J.: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co., 1994), 72-73, 85-88; and John Frame, Cornelius Van Til: An Analysis of His Thought (Phillipsburg, N.J.: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co., 1995), 315-17.

  • Suspension of Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance Agreements with Hong Kong – Supplementary Materials
    Supplementary Submission to the Joint Committee on Treaties Suspension of Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance Agreements with Hong Kong – Supplementary Materials About us Australia-Hong Kong Link is a network of Australia-based volunteers across different states in Australia with strong ties to Hong Kong. Our organisation upholds the Australian core values and supports Hong Kong’s democracy, freedom, rule of law and human rights. Our main purpose is to connect Hong Kong and Australia through the provision of support services to Hongkongers residing in Australia and acting as a bridge of communication between members of our communities.
