| Summary: | On June 10, 1947, Rev. Edwin H. Rian, who had been deposed by the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. (PCUSA) eleven years before and helped to found the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, delivered this statement to the Presbytery of Philadelphia of the PCUSA, asking to return to its ministry. The presbytery minutes read, “The Committee on Candidates and Credentials being convinced of the sincere repentance of Edwin H. Rian deposed from the ministry by the Presbytery of Philadelphia meeting in June 1936, recommends that Dr. Rian be restored...Dr. Edwin H. Rian read his statement and was then Ordained by the Moderator. A motion that Dr. Rian's name be enrolled in the membership of the Presbytery was adopted." Brief excerpts from this statement were previously published in Christian Century 64:26 (1947): 788-89. |
