AU Seminary Speaks on Church Unity

[Gregory Matthews]

At noon yesterday, the Andrews University Seminary professors released a statement on church unity which concluded:

 

“We, the faculty of the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, affirm the biblical truth of church unity grounded in our worship of God, our common faith, our shared community, and our sense of mission. We have serious concerns about the recent documents ‘A Study of Church Governance and Unity’ and ‘Statement on Church Governance and Unity’ released by the General Conference and its portrayal of the nature and authority of the church. Further discussion by the church at large on this important ecclesiological issue is needed before such a document is adopted.”
