Statement of Confession and Intent

 

1. The Society of Latitudinarian Evangelicals shall be constituted and maintained by them upon the following confession:

• The Evangelical Alliance’s Basis of Faith and the National Association of Evangelical’s Statement of Faith;

• 2.1.2 to 2.1.5 and 2.1.8 of the Constitution of the Church of England Evangelical Council;

• That “the doctrine of their Churches is grounded in the Holy Scriptures, and in such teachings of the ancient Fathers and Councils of the Church as are agreeable to the said Scriptures.” (Covenantal Structure of the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches).

 

2. To the following ends:

• To revive and continue the spirit of the Latitudinarians in articulating the Christian faith under the supremacy of Christ as revealed by the Bible.

• To promote and foster the common spiritual fellowship all Christians have in the Gospel especially as can be found in 1.

• To defend the faith with the best insights of humanity, both past and present, ever conscious of its limits in the light of our fallen nature and the necessity of the regeneration of the Holy Spirit who works as and where He pleases.

• To “analyze this present time” (Luke 12:56) and discern the will of God for their present circumstance.

• To propose and contribute future projects, plans, and policies for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

​

And these members do commend this Society unto the care of the Almighty Incarnate, and pray that He may be pleased to use it to comfort the saints, strengthen the fellowship, rebuke the recalcitrant, and above all, to expand the Kingdom of God.
