Bishop Objects to Modernism of Present Age
Bishop Charles Thompson of Minneapolis, head of the Northern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, spoke at a Methodist Camp conference July 24 26 on Fundamentalism versus Modernism. He warned that worshiping a false god arises when one accepts evolution over creation, arguing identity rests on God as creator. He cited biblical passages from Jeremiah Psalms Acts and Mars Hill to illustrate the danger of modernist theology.
