He said that in later years, the REC became influenced by the Oxford movement with all its Anglo-Catholic implications. I'm just curious about RE institutions, and whether or not they've gone in an Anglo-C direction or not.
I did not realize that. I worshipped in an REC congregation in Katy, Texas, a few years ago and was impressed with the minister, whose father was the bishop, Gortke I believe. I met one of the deaconesses and she said their congregation regularly attended Ligoner Conferences. They were a solid group, but perhaps some are going the way of Rome. Anglo-Catholics are nothing more than papists in Protestant garb.
