WELL, OK, IT’S NOT AS SPECTACULAR as the signing of the Declaration of Independence, but we can say we were “far-away witnesses” to the re-visioning of what the Evangelical Free Church of America says it believes. And it should make us feel good that the 18 sermons on the Proposed Statement of Faith, were not wasted. 
The following is the email announcement I received from HQ. I share it here because we need to remind ourselves that we are part of something bigger than just the Felton Bible Church. It is also good to note that people can disagree and still move forward united for the furtherance of God’s glory and kingdom. Here’s the report:

HISTORIC CONFERENCE APPROVES
PROPOSED REVISION OF THE EFCA STATEMENT OF FAITH
President Bill Hamel began this historic discussion by asking two questions: would the Conference affirm a new Statement of Faith strengthening our commitment to evangelical, historic faith? And would we debate and vote with godly character? The answer to both questions was “yes.”
On June 26, 2008, delegates of the 124th EFCA National Leadership Conference approved the Proposed Revision of the Statement of Faith – 86% of delegates voted for the Proposed Revision.
Throughout the debate and decision, God’s presence was evident as delegates kept in step with the Spirit (Gal. 5:25), manifested the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23), and left an aroma of Christ (2 Cor. 2:14-16).
The conference concluded with President Hamel leading the attendees in a strong and passionate confession of the new EFCA Statement of Faith. Here is a link to the Statement of Faith: http://www.efca.org/about/doctrine/
To God be the glory, great things He has done . . . and continues to do in the EFCA!

And may to God be the glory in all we do, by His Spirit’s leading and power, here at Felton Bible Church.
