A STUNTED ECCLESIOLOGY?
The Theory & Practice of Evangelical Churchliness
There is a fine article by J.I. Packer in the December issue of Touchstone Magazine. Packer defines evangelicalism and provides a bit of an insider's critique. It's not a brief USA TODAY style piece but it's worth plowing thru it -- even if you aren't a natural born theologian.

Jim Packer is a unique person -- Brit turned Canuck -- irenic but firm -- brilliant but engaged at the populist level. I remember once attending a Packer lecture at North Park Seminary and asking him what I now know was a fairly dumb question. But it didn't phase him and he graciously worked with my issue.
