Denny Burk and Ray Van Neste are proposing an amendment to the ETS’s doctrinal basis along the lines of the UK’s Tyndale Fellowship which agrees with the statement of belief used by the UK’s Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship (UCCF). There are no surprises in the proposed list, which suggests a shift from the current two-part statement to an eleven-part statement. You can read more about it here.
Unsurprisingly, so far under the ‘Categories’ in the sidebar, there are 4 articles on ‘Amendment’ and 8 on ‘Evangelicals and Catholics’.

In the heat of the Openness debate, James Sawyer, then ETS president of the Far West region, gave a fine paper called ““Doctrinal Taxonomy and Theological Controversy: A Modest Proposal for
Addressing Divisive Issues,” where he proposed that the statement not be changed on an ad hoc basis.

Sounds interesting Aaron. Do you have a copy of it?

Interesting. The statement which limits inerrancy to “66 books” appears to be an attempt to exclude Catholic members of the ETS like Scott Hahn, not to mention those of an Orthodox persuasion.
Are the old walls of confessional division being repaired after decades of neglect?

Hi Jason: I did have a copy at one point (Sawyer gladly emailed it to me). I don’t think I have it any longer? He could be emailed though.
