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
