I had never heard of the Gospel Coalition until I read a blog on Desiring God which linked to Mark Driscoll's blog titled "Good Times with Good Men". I am excited to see the outcome of this conference in light of Driscoll's blog. The part that interests me the most is the documents that are being drawn up as a confession. This is REALLY exciting as I believe that there are great things on the way. Here is an excerpt from Mark's post:
"The big task was completing a confession of faith and vision for ministry statement compiled by Dr. D.A. Carson and Dr. Tim Keller with input and edits from dozens of pastors at their theological colloquim which has met annually for the past few years refining the documents. When completed, the documents will be posted at www.thegospelcoalition.org and available for use by churches and organizations. The documents are very encouraging. The doctrinal confession follows the narrative of Scripture more than the systematic theological categories and is richly reformed with enough breadth to include people from a variety of denominational traditions. The vision for ministry is a missiological call for biblically faithful and culturally accessible ministry that a lot of younger reformed pastors will resonate with."
I don't know what will become of all this but these are truly exciting times. I will be following this with great interest and will post further updates as they become available.
