Cultures in the PCA
Tim Keller has produced this article (pdf file) outlining the various cultures within the Presbyterian Church of America. I found his critiques of each, as well as Bishop Jenkins’ suggestions at the end, to be most helpful in thinking how we as a denomination can learn to hang together through current storms.
Hat tip to Joel Garver for posting this article.

mark, note tim keller’s comments on the original post (marion clark’s blog) http://marionclark.blogspot.com/2005/04/required-reading.html. He wrote the article in 2003, I believe.

Thanks, Christiana. I encourage my readers to follow her link and read the discussion. There’s some interesting give and take between Keller and another PCA pastor on the legitimacy of using “categories of men” such as Niebuhr’s as opposed to using scripturally-derived categories.

just an FYI: Marion is a man, otherwise Tenth would be in some big trouble with the PCA (at the least).

It doesn’t seem like he researched it all that well. There’s not a single reference in the whole article, and the Archbishop of Sydney is Peter Jensen, not Peter Jenkins.
