Meeting 7: Committee of the Whole Presbtyery of Philadelphia — Norman Shepherd Controversy
Presbytery of Philadelphia OPC minutes
Again Jack distributes a paper to the Presbytery entitled
"Response to Thesis 22 (34 Theses by Norman Shepherd)."
The reason given for the negative vote by those opposing Shepherd was first written in the minutes of Presbytery:
"Because we believe that thesis 22 can be understood to teach the good works must constitute a ground for justification.”
This explanation would be struck out in a subsequent December 1, 1979 committee of the whole meeting.
Location: Rust Auditorium, Westminster Theological Seminary
