The Confession of 1967

Essential Tenets of the Reformed Faith

Reconciliation

"God's reconciling work in Jesus Christ and the mission of reconciliation to which he has called his church are the heart of the gospel in any age. Our generation stands in peculiar need of reconciliation in Christ. Accordingly this Confession of 1967 is built upon that theme."

Thus ends the Preface to the Confession of 1967, giving the rationale and setting the scene for what is to follow. Reconciliations is at the heart of the Christian message, and it was what Americans most needed to hear in the mid-sixties.
