The Alliance's Unwavering Opposition to ECT
In
light of the Timothy George article commending ECT that was posted on this
website today, it seems necessary to assure our readers that this ministry has
not changed its historic stance in opposition to the Evangelicals and Catholics
Together movement and its published documents. I am one of those who was
privileged to be involved during the late 90's and was present for a number of
occasions when stalwarts like James Boice and R. C. Sproul refused to
compromise on key biblical doctrines like justification through faith alone and
sola scriptura. It has become evident from the reaction of many readers
that the pro-ECT article posted here by Mr. George has given the impression
that our ministry has wavered in this stance. I can assure our readers
that this is not true. As we look back on the events of twenty years ago,
we lament the doctrinal compromises that led us to oppose the ECT then just as
we continue to oppose it today. The purpose of the article was to offer
historical perspective, but it has had the regrettable effect of causing some
of our valued readers to question our commitments. I would therefore like
to assure our friends of our continued opposition to ECT and our firm
commitment to the distinctive doctrines of the Protestant Reformation.
