The Evangelical Free Churchs of America is revising its statement of faith. There are two significant chances. One deals with eschatology - the study of the end of this world. The other brings a new emphasis at the core for serving the poor.
I'm in favor of both. The eschatological issue is one that, while I support the existing position, I do not see as a crux on which our faith must rest, and I know good, Godly men who disagree with it.
Service for the poor is so central to the identity of the Christian that it should have been in there ages ago.
Since Coram Deo is a member of this denomination, the changes affect us.
