Description / Abstract
The Commission on the Doctrine of the Church was appointed to propose an article of faith by action of the 1985 General Assembly. It was my privilege to serve as chair of this commission along with George Lyons, Stephen Gunter, Morris Weigelt, H. Ray Dunning, and John A. Knight. I presented the results of the three meetings of the Commission to the Twenty-Second General Assembly in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1989. Approximately twenty years prior a gathering of Nazarene theologians expressed an interest in developing an article of faith on the Church. The call for a Doctrine of the Church in the mid-eighties reignited the desire first expressed twenty years before. The following essay represents my reflections on the theological issues that were at stake during our deliberations as well as the continuing significance of a Doctrine of the Church for the twenty-first century.
