Wise Words About Chastity

WISE WORDS: WHAT ARE CHURCH LEADERS SAYING ABOUT ChASTITY AND THE 7th Commandment?

Among the many questions about the decisions made by Synod 2022 are concerns about the way Synod dealt with Chastity and the Heidelberg Catechism. 

This excerpt from a larger document exploring a number of concerns, deals explicitly with Synod’s actions with regard to Question & Answer 108. The full document, also available below, is a compilation of a number of topics of dissent or discomfort, curated from letters and gravamen being written by church leaders in the CRC. The Hesed Project CRC is sharing some of the common themes, with the writers’ permission and without identifying information, because these words of wisdom may be helpful for others. This is consistent with Synod’s call for more dialogue and reflection.
