Join us for a special edition of Reformed Forum as Lane Tipton and Camden Bucey discuss a recommendation coming before the upcoming 2024 General Assembly of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC). They focus particularly on the proposed changes to the recommended curriculum for ministerial preparation which have been recommended by the Committee on Christian Education.

Camden and Lane explore the historical context and potential impacts of these changes, emphasizing the importance of maintaining robust theological education in the OPC. They discuss the distinctive elements of the current suggested curriculum, particularly its strong emphasis on biblical theology and presuppositional apologetics, and analyze the proposed revisions, raising critical questions about their implications for the future of ministerial training in the denomination.

Listen to gain insights into the procedural aspects of the General Assembly, the role of advisory committees, and the importance of preserving the OPC’s theological heritage. Whether you are an OPC member, a commissioner to General Assembly, or simply interested in Reformed theology, this episode will prompt you to consider what it means to equip men properly for gospel ministry.
