The
Westminster Standards are also used by MC3. Many of our children
have memorized the Children's and/or the Shorter Catechisms.
Further, since various elements of Christian theology,
experience and practice are articulated in these standards with
unrivaled eloquence and accuracy, they are frequently cited and
appealed to as authoritative renderings of disputed points.
Subordinate to the Three Forms of Unity as far as Church Order and
practice are concerned, the Westminster Standards nevertheless
function with authority at Messiah's, albeit in an organic,
covenantal manner.
