Puritan Board Junior
(I purposefully chose the term "Calvinistic" rather than "Reformed" to avoid the debate over "what constitutes Reformed")
I'm just wondering why there is such a lack of Calvinistic churches in our land. I'm not sure if this is true where you live, but in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area this is certainly true. I can personally only name three in our entire metro area.
I know that Calvinists are in the minority today, but I can't believe it could be to the extent that I see represented by the lack of churches that proclaim it. Just look at how many members we have on this board, and then imagine how many others there are out there that hold similar convictions.
Does the problem stem from a lack of seminary training? Problems with church planting?
What are your thoughts?
