Semper Reformanda

"The church Reformed, always reforming according to the Word of God" is a motto that was born from the Reformation's emphasis on making sure that the church's life, theology, and worship was more and more fully governed by Scripture. We rejoice in what God did in the sixteenth-century Reformation, but we don't merely look back. We look ahead to how the Lord will continually conform His church to the Word of God. This session examines the church's need for ongoing reform, examines how the church is being reformed today both in the West and around the world, and considers how the Western church can look to examples from Protestant movements around the world.
