Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians
An ECO analysis: What is it and why consider
it?
ECO
is the acronym for The Fellowship of Presbyterian's (FOP) new Reformed body.
Spelled out the name is Evangelical Covenant Order of Presbyterians. Fun has
been had on various blogs about what the acronym might have been: E-COOP which
brings to mind chickens, E-COP which sounds like a police state, ECO-OP which
sounds very green and depending which syllable you emphasize, is either a
clandestine operation or a co-operative. But ECO it is: A vision of a spiritual
ecosystem in which congregations can be planted and flourish and in which authentic
disciples of Jesus Christ will grow and bear abundant fruit for the Kingdom of
God. Who wouldn't want to be in a denomination like that? "How far
'out' of the Presbyterian Church (USA) can you get" and "how far 'in'
ECO you want to be," are the presenting questions. Read full analysis here
