The Gospel at Risk? Confessing the Faith Today

The Reformed tradition is a confessing tradition, proclaiming its faith through creeds and confessions when “the truth of the Gospel is at risk.” This four-week Sunday School series meets Sundays, October 11–November 1, at 10 am in Room 305 and will be led by professors from Columbia Theological Seminary. Together, the class will examine two PC(USA) confessions and the proposed new confession, considering what they teach us about living out the Gospel today.
