ETS and the Catholic Church

Posted Saturday, May 12, 2007 by Charlie Trimm

For those who have not heard the news yet, Francis Beckwith, the president of ETS (Evangelical Theological Society) has resigned both from being President and as a member of ETS after he rejoined full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. This is a fascinating event and has already been talked about a lot in the blogs. You can read his initial blog as well as the statement from the ETS executive committee. Personally, I think that it is a sad event and sets a bad example. It will be interesting to see what comes of this, especially within ETS. Perhaps an expanded doctrinal statement is in the future?
