Up From Reconstructionism; or, A Short History of the Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton

In effect, Reconstructionism is a half-way-house between twentieth century evangelicalism and truly biblical Reformation Christianity. Reformation Christianity reached its apex in the Westminster Assembly and the documents it produced. Those documents were created in fulfillment of the goals aimed at in the Solemn League and Covenant.

The Puritan Reformed Church of Edmonton was originally formed as a Reconstructionist church. But Reconstructionism had taken us only part of the way down the road to real Reformation. We continued further down the road, discovering the biblical basis to the Reformers' view of worship. More recently, we learned of the highpoint of the Reformation, namely the taking of the Covenants and their effects in seventeenth century Britain.

The Reformed and Presbyterian churches of the world will not have much impact until they have recovered the lost theological attainments of our fore-fathers. God does not bless backsliding. We implore Reconstructionists and other Reformed Christians to accompany us back to the 'old paths' of the Covenanted Reformation.
