Presbyterians dissociate
The Rev. T. D. Phillips (Rakaia): The Session of the Rakaia Parish of the Presbyterian Church has agreed to disassociate itself from the reported statements of Professor Geering. We reaffirm our belief in the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith as expressed in the Book of Order of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, especially that relating to the Trinity: “The Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, as part of the Holy Catholic, or Universal Church worships one God Almighty, all-wise and loving, in the Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the same in substance, equal in power and glory; adoring the Father, infinite in majesty, of whom are all things; confessing our Lord Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son, made very man for our salvation; glorying in His Cross and Resurrection, and owing obedience to Him as the Head over all things to His Church; trusting in the promised renewal and guidance of the Holy Spirit; proclaiming forgiveness of sins and acceptance with God through faith in Christ, and the gift of Eternal life; and labouring for the advancement of the Kingdom of God throughout the world.”
