LILLBACK 271 Contributors EDITORIAL The Way We Live Now PAUL WELLS t the beginning of the third decade of this new century, Unio cum Christo will address the issues of apologetics and public theology. Both subjects present challenges that demand the attention of Reformed Christianity since we live in a world where change seems to be accelerating at breathtaking Aspeed with new issues constantly surfacing. We trust the way of presenting these questions will be stimulating and useful to you, our readers. Toward the end of the twentieth century, when the narrative of modern- ism disintegrated, the radical individualism of “me and my conscience” invaded the social beachheads. The title of Elton John’s recent autobiography Me says it all. The identity constructs of subjective autonomy sounded the death knell of rationalism, debate, and historical materialism. It is the final escape from reason, to use Francis Schaeffer’s term. Traditional under- standings of class, gender, and language are seen to be the tools of ruling elite oppression. The order of the day became deconstruction of worn-out narratives to remove the injustices of the past: of reason, history, nature, class, sex, and, above all, family

  • E of the National Synod of Dordrecht, the Tendency for W Many 1S to Associate That Name with the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands During the Early 17Th Century
    hen m~ntion is ma?e of the national Synod of Dordrecht, the tendency for W many 1s to associate that name with the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands during the early 17th century. To do so is certainly not incorrect, but it should be borne in mind that that Synod was in certain respects unique so far as the assemblies of Reformed churches are concerned. Unlike any of the other great Reformed assemblies, it gathered together representatives of virtually all of the Reformed churches in Europe. In that respect it stands alone and deserves a pecu­ liar place in the history of the Reformed churches. The divines who met at Dordt on the 13th November 1618 constituted a remark­ able array of talent and background. The ranks of those who attended at Dort included fifty-six ministers and ruling elders from the Dutch churches, five Professors of Theology, and twenty-six foreign divines, as well as eighteen political commissioners who were not members of the Synod but who were to supervise the proceedings and report to the States-General. The foreign divines included repre­ sentatives from the Reformed churches of Great Britain, the Palatinate, Hessia, Switzerland, Wetteravia, Geneva, Bremen, and Emden. Delegates from France were also invited, but were prevented from. attending by their king. Consequently, this Synod was unlike any other within the Reformed church world. As a Synod, it has enjoyed high praise. Richard Baxter places this Synod on the same footing as the Westminster Assembly of Divines. Speaking of the Westminster Assembly, Baxter observes: "The Divines there Congregate were Men of Eminent Learning and Godliness, and Ministerial Abilities and Fidelity: and .
