Young People’s Bible Camp

The Reformed Fellowship gladly calls attention to some of the activities of its Canadian affiliate. The first is a Young People’s Bible Camp, Monday through Friday noon, August 27–31, 1979, at the Cedar Glen Conference Grounds at Bolton (near Toronto), Ontario. The subject of the conference is to be “God’s Word, God’s Church and You.” Rev. Harry Bout, Mr. Arend Kersten and Rev. Harry Van Dyken are tentatively scheduled as speakers. Cost is to be $100 which covers everything except transportation and bath linen (towels). $25 should be sent in with reservations (before August 1) which will be issued on a first come, first served basis, up to a limit of 66. Young people 16 and over are invited. Mail reservations to Mr. G.J. Van Daalen, 242 Elmhurst Dr., Rexdale, Ont. M9W 2L8. Beside the meetings the conference will provide a variety of activities including horseback riding, swimming, hiking, sports, etc.

New Publications

We also call attention to two new publications of our Canadian affiliate: Justification and Liberation by Norman Shepherd of Westminster Theological Seminary, is a 24 pp. booklet including Dr. Shepherd’s Reformation Day analysis of the “Liberation Theology”, which originated among Roman Catholics and is influencing many uncritical Protestants. Dr. Shepherd’s writing is clear and helpful and deserves wide reading.

Four Essays on the Confessions is a larger 26 page collection of writings on the creeds. It includes “The Origin and Function of the Confessions” by Neil Pronk, Pastor of the Free Reformed Church of Grand Rapids, “The Contents of the Confessions” by Professor Herman C. Hanko of the Protestant Reformed Seminary of Grand Rapids, “Living the Confessions” by Peter De Jon g. your OUTLOOK editor, and “Do We Need a New Confession” by Professor Johannes G. Vos, Emeritus Professor of Bible of Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. This publication intends as Rev. Harry VanDyken in the preface points out, to promote understanding and appreciative use of our creeds especially in view of the way in which they are being minimized and attacked under the influence of the “new Hermeneutic.” The cost of the latter booklet is $2.50. Both may be obtained from the Reformed Fellowship of Canada, 1244 Talbot St., St. Thomas, Ont. N5P 1G9.
