Covenant Presbyterian Church

What is the Evangelical Presbyterian Church?

Covenant Church at 30th & Howard  is a Christian church in the tradition of the Protestant Reformation and allied with the EPC [The Evangelical Presbyterian Church] We believe the Scriptures to be the infallible Word of God and our final authority in faith and practice, and we find the historic creeds of the early church (the Apostles’ Creed and Nicene Creed) to be vital expressions of the most important tenets of the global church universal. When the EPC started in 1981, we determined that we would not disagree on the basic essentials of the Christian faith, but on anything that was not essential—such as the issue of ordaining women as officers or practicing charismatic gifts—we would give each other liberty. Above all, we committed ourselves to loving each other and not engaging in quarrels and strife. The result is that when we get together in our regional and national meetings, we spend most of our time in worship and fellowship and almost none in arguing with each other.

Henri de Lubac on Vatican II’s Dei Verbum

Dr. David Grumett is an expert in Henri de Lubac’s theology, and today he joins us to discuss de Lubac’s work on “Dei Verbum.” He and Andrew discuss the continued importance of Dei Verbum in the life of the Church. David highlights de Lubac’s focus on divine revelation as an immeasurable gift that God makes of Himself to us and the importance of our faith as a response to this self-gift. David also touches on the importance of Sacred Scripture in Salvation history and the key differences between a Protestant and Catholic approach to the Bible. This episode will not only give you a new appreciation for Scripture, but also for de Lubac himself as he increasingly becomes a more well-known theologian.

A Proverbial Naked Bike Ride Through Steubenville, Ohio

Over the summer I came across a series of articles on Substack titled, A Proverbial Naked Bike Ride Through Steubenville, Ohio . The author, Lindsay Tsohantaridis, talked about abuse of power  and systemic cultures of abuse within the Franciscan University of Steubenville and wider charismatic community. I found her writing to be insightful and extensively researched. Lindsay was able to put  words to experiences that are really hard to put words to and provided principles and examples that can be applied to any system . . .
