Up at the Pastors Academy recently for the reading group. The main book this time was a beautifully presented volume of reflections on Baptist sacramental church history by Michael Haykin Amidst us our beloved stands. This was supplemented by a brief work on similar subjects from Robert Letham covering the same ground and other matters. Both books take the Calvinist view so popular at present and oppose the so-called Zwinglian memorialist view. The books strengthened me in my Zwinglian convictions (if that's what they are) despite themselves. About a dozen of us met to discuss the subjects raised in the books and athough most appeared to be Calvinist many of Letham's statements, such as those on John 6, were questioned. A good time.
