From the docket for the next meeting of Tim Keller's presbytery:
3. We recommend that Presbytery dismiss all Teaching Elders with calls to Brooklyn Presbyterian Church, TE Matthew Brown, Vito Aiuto, Christopher Hildebrand, David Stancil, Brian Steadman, Marc Choi, and Jamison Galt to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, pending their reception there.
4.We recommend that TE Tim Keller’s views on creation, historical Adam and evolution be found in keeping with our doctrinal standards, and request that the NYMP clerk inform Calvary Presbytery of our determination.
For the uninitiated...
"TE" stands for teaching elder which is PCA-speak for "Rev." or "Pastor;" and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church is where men move when they want women to exercise even more authority over men than women already do across Tim's presbytery; when they want to cast off all restraint and have women ordained to the pastorate and eldership, preaching in corporate worship and disciplining men (all of which the EPC allows). Women teaching and exercising authority over men is close to the EPC's raison d'être (but read David Booth's comment below).
There's really nothing more to say about the feminist commitments of Tim and his presbytery. The PCA has decided to swallow it and move on. So now we have days of creation and we're being assured Tim's views on evolution are in accord with the Westminster Standards.
Yes yes. Of course.
Tim serves Clearnote Church, Bloomington, Indiana. He and Mary Lee have five children and big lots of grandchildren.
