Reformed Congregational Fellowship Conference
PAUL WANAMAKER and KIRK VAN der SWAAGH
The Reformed Congregational Fellowship (RCF) conference has been a wonderful blessing over the years, and the efforts of the many presenters are greatly appreciated. We’re now at that time of year when we need to start firming up commitments for papers for the 2018 RCF Pastors’ Conference which is planned for April 10-12, 2018.
In 2018 we will be addressing Chapter 25 of the Savoy Declaration, which deals with “of Marriage.” The following are some [of the] suggested topics/themes/titles for presenters to consider:
- How do we reconcile the OT practice of multiple wives with the call for one wife, one husband?
- Are there biblical grounds for divorce, and, if so, does the call for one wife or husband extend to prohibition of remarriage after divorce?
- How does this chapter inform the qualification of an elder to “be the husband of one wife?” Is that a prescription? Does divorce disqualify?
- “Marriage was ordained for the mutual help of husband and wife”: What is the biblical role of the husband? What is the biblical role of the wife? How can the church be an agent of grace in correcting abuse within the home?
