(16.1.2) Erskine Students Threatened with Arrest –Is there still a “culture of intimidation” at Erskine College?

(16.1.4) “Forever Connect” to What? by Erskine College senior Katie Beth Leathers (taken from the May issue of The Mirror, the student run college newspaper) – The question that is asked is this: What does the new Erskine recruiting slogan, “Forever Connected,” mean?
(16.1.5) Letter to the Editor from a Seminary Student by Jacob Theilman, a student at Erskine Theological Seminary (taken from the May issue of The Mirror, the student run college newspaper) – Mr. Theilman is “Exhibit A” for the concerns that have been expressed by the Editor in multiple issues of ARPTalk about the presence and danger of neo-Barthians teaching at the seminary of the ARP Church.
(16.2) CONSISTENT WITH THE PURPOSE OF THE GENERAL SYNOD? YOU DECIDE! An analysis by the Editor of salient points of “The Erskine Report” to the General Synod.
If you are new to ARPTalk, ARPTalk is NOT an official voice of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. The purposes of ARPTalk are two-fold: (1) To inform and educate the ministers and laypeople of ARPdom on significant issues that are before ARPdom; and (2) To give voice to and encouragement to those who feel they have been ignored and marginalized.
ARPTalk is FREE to those who want it. If you are on the mailing list of ARPTalk, it is because you are an ARP minister or layperson or someone who is interested in the ARPC or things Presbyterian in general.
