SNAKE 26.5: The Antioch Declaration and Surrounding Controversies

The Antioch Statement has sparked controversy in the Reformed church. What's really going on? We tackle this divisive issue head-on, breaking down the timeline of events and analyzing the statement's implications. Is it truly about combating racism, or is there more beneath the surface?

We discuss the role of memes in modern communication, the dangers of elevating historical narratives to gospel-level importance, and the need for clarity in church statements. How should Christians approach conversations about ethnicity and history without falling into extremes?

As pastors at Reformation Church in Shelbyville, Kentucky, we offer our perspective on this complex situation. We react to the responses from key figures and examine the broader impact on church unity.
