@JonMcK1647@theFIEC It's strange. Many evangelical CofE folks are functionally credo as well. I remember an evangelical leader asking me to consider CofE ministry. As I replied, "I am credo baptist," the response was, "that's just fine we'll have you anyway!" Not great!
@jkylebrosseau@JHGoodman8404 Hey Kyle, it's not terminal by definition. Accreditation bodies define this. Terminal means the highest you can get in a given field. So PhD, EdD, PsyD esc. DMin is a professional degree, designed to equip for a job. No shade, just giving formal definition!
So fwiw, there’s a historically Baptist maximalist (the 20th SBC) and Baptist traditionalist—New England and more or less Christian nationalist, but no state churches—position on this, and both strands are represented in the history of Baptists in North America.
It’s finally real! James Ussher’s never before published or translated manuscript lectures proving he wrote the Irish Articles and the Body of Divinity. Thanks @WestminsterTS for partnering on this project
