Lancaster, Pa. – January 4, 2023 – The Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals (alliancenet.org) will host its 50th annual Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology (PCRT) for the first time at University Reformed Church at 841 Timberlane St. in East Lansing, Mich., February 24 to 26, and again at Proclamation Presbyterian Church at 278 S. Bryn Mawr Avenue in Bryn Mawr, Pa., April 28 to 30. PCRT’s semicentennial theme is “Here We Stand: The Five Solas of the Reformation.” First held in 1974, PCRT is the nation’s oldest, continually operating Reformed conference. Costs per person are US$45 for the pre-conference workshop and US$95 for the conference; discounted prices of US$35 and US$85 respectively are offered to friends of the Alliance, host church members, pastors and their accompanying spouse, senior citizens, and groups of five or more registering together. Children under eight are free. For more information and to register, visit https://alliancenet.org/here-we-stand-PCRT50. “Since PCRT’s inception, the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther’s stirring proclamation at the Council of Worms, ‘Here I stand, I can do no other,’ has animated our ministry,” said Executive Director Bob Brady of the Alliance. The Alliance also published the book, “Here We Stand,” with the organization’s 1996 Cambridge Declaration in its preface teaching through the five “solas” of the Protestant Reformation as still addressing the needs of today’s evangelical church: Scripture alone, by faith alone, by Christ alone, by grace alone, and to the glory of God alone. “The 2023 gathering of PCRT will mark a half century of joining the great Reformers by standing on God’s holy, authoritative Word,” said PCRT Chairman and speaker Dr. Richard Phillips. “We will commemorate this year remembering why the five solas are vital.”

[2] Abortion Destroying Blacks in America
The following is excerpted from “White People Don’t Like Abortion,” TownHall.com, Nov. 12, 2012: “Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger believed in using abortion to rid the world of the ‘unfit.’ In Sanger’s world, the unfit included blacks and she hoped they would be eliminated with the help of her organization. As she wrote in her autobiography, S a n g e r f o u n d e d P l a n n e d Parenthood in 1916 ‘to stop the multiplication of the unfit.’ This, she boasted, would be ‘the most important and greatest step towards race betterment.’ While she oversaw the mass murder of black babies, Sanger cynically recruited minority activists to front her death racket. She conspired with eugenics financier and businessman Clarence Gamble to ‘hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities’ to sell their genocidal policies as community health and welfare services. Outright murder wouldn’t sell. But wrapping it under the egalitarian cloak of ‘women’s health’–and adorning it with the moral authority of black churches–would. Sanger and Gamble called their deadly campaign ‘The Negro Project.’ … Planned Parenthood receives $500 million from the government each year and funded m i l l i o n s o f d o l l a r s’ w o r t h o f advertisements this year to get Barack Obama reelected. Sanger’s dream is coming true today as Planned Parenthood clinics are purposely placed in minority neighborhoods to target pregnant women. Fast forward: Five decades and 16 million aborted black babies later, Planned Parenthood’s insidious agenda has migrated from inner-city ‘birth control bureaus’ to public school-based health clinics to the White House–forcibly funded with taxpayer dollars just as Sanger championed. … 28 percent of the black race has been wiped out by abortion. More than 1,400 black babies are aborted every day. Though blacks make up 12% of the population, they make up 36% of abortions.”

[3] Appeals Court Backs Florida School District’s Policy That Separates Bathrooms by Biological Sex
The following is excerpted from “Federal appeals court,” Fox News, Dec. 31, 2022: “A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of a Florida school district’s policy that separates school bathrooms by biological sex. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals announced its 7-4 decision on Friday, ruling that the St. Johns County School Board did not discriminate against transgender students based on sex, or violate federal civil rights law by requiring transgender students to use gender-neutral bathrooms or bathrooms matching their biological sex. The court’s decision was split down party lines, with seven justices appointed by Republican presidents siding with the school district and four justices appointed by Democratic presidents siding with Drew Adams, a biological female, who sued the district in 2017 after not being allowed to use the boys’ restroom. … Judge Barbara Lagoa wrote in the majority opinion that the school board policy advances the important governmental objective of protecting students’ privacy in school bathrooms. She said the district’s policy does not violate the law because it’s based on biological sex, not gender identity. … Two other federal appeals courts have ruled that transgender students can use bathrooms that accord with their identities. Friday’s decision increases the likelihood that the U.S. Supreme Court will take up the issue.”

[4] How Covid Restrictions Affected Religious Groups
The following is excerpted from “Key findings about Covid-19 restrictions that affected religious groups around the world in 2020,” Pewresearch.org, Nov. 29, 2022: “During the COVID-19 pandemic, countries around the world restricted large gatherings to reduce the spread of the virus. Religious events, including in-person worship services, were banned in many places. In every region of the globe, at least some religious groups protested these regulations. Pew Research Center’s 13th annual report on restrictions on religion in 2020 includes a new analysis of how public health measures related to the coronavirus affected religious groups the year the pandemic took hold globally. The report also shows that overall government restrictions and social hostilities relating to religion remained fairly stable from 2019 to 2020. … In 69 countries (35% of the total analyzed), one or more religious groups defied public health measures that were imposed during the pandemic. … Religious groups criticized government-mandated public health measures in 54 countries (27% of all analyzed), often stating the rules were a violation of religious freedom. … In nearly a quarter of countries, governments used physical force, such as arrests and raids, to make religious groups comply with COVID-19 public health measures. … In 18 countries, authorities linked religious groups or gatherings to the spread of COVID-19. And in 39 countries (20% of all studied) private individuals or groups attributed the spread of the virus to religious groups. … Meanwhile, the number of countries with either ‘high’ or ‘very high’ levels of government restrictions remained the same, at 57 countries (29%) from 2019 to 2020, a peak number for the study.”

[5] Erskine College’s Accreditation under Warning
Erskine College is on warning from its accreditor.
The college was placed on warning by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges last month for one year. It was denied reaffirmation but will keep its accreditation.
Erskine was placed on warning for failing to comply with three core requirements: governing board characteristics, financial resources and financial responsibility.
According to a disclosure statement regarding Erskine’s status, these standards expect an institution “to have a governing board that (b) exercises fiduciary oversight of the institution; (2) to have sound financial resources and a demonstrated, stable financial base to support the mission of the institution and the scope of its programs and services; and (3) to manage its financial resources in a responsible manner.”
