Radical Illinois Presbyterians Seek Radical Creed Reform
Chicago November 2 Special All Illinois Presbyterians recommend a change in their creed after careful study of the Confession. The report argues the Westminster Assembly was shaped by Catholic and Protestant controversies and Armenian Calvinist disputes, making its chapters suited to 17th century Britain rather than American Presbyterian beliefs. It urges a radical recasting of the Confession rather than minor revisions to preserve church continuity and satisfy the catholic spirit. The ministers’ action drew comment in religious circles.
