Esteemed and learned Teaching Elders Duncan Rankin and Steve Tipton reflect on the meaning and importance of the Principles that undergird the PCA's Polity as well as correct some abuses of them.

In today’s extended episode of The Westminster Standard, TE Steve Tipton, PhD and TE Duncan Rankin, PhD help me to better understand the Preliminary Principles of our polity. These principles date back to 1788 and lay out the framework by which Presbyterians in America have understood the Scripture’s teaching on the nature and ministry of the Church.
