EDUCATIONAL CONFESSION Throughout the ages, Christians have responded to the Word of God in confessions of faith. By means of these confessions, they defined their life together as believers. At the same time, they rejected the false teachings and answered the troubling questions of their time. As Christians united in the task of educating children in the Lord, we have similar obligation to respond to God’s Word for education. This we are seeking to do in this educational confession. This confession does not substitute for or compete with theological confession but seeks to be in harmony with the historic creeds of the churches.
