View a Special Photo Gallery of Magdalene Chapel

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

Dear Friends,

One of the things that holds churches and nations together are confessions and covenants. These documents synthesize and clarify the most important principles that bind people together. They remind people of their commitments and their beliefs. They establish standards for self-government. And good confessions and covenants do this by building everything on the Holy Scriptures.

And so it was, in this tiny five hundred year old building that can only seat about three dozen people, that four men named John came together and drafted the Scottish Confession—which became a model for the most famous confession in of the last millennium—The Westminster Confession of Faith. The Chapel is spelled “Magdalene”, but is pronounced “maudelin.”

We were allowed to hold Sunday services at Magdalene, and Joe Morecraft preached a powerful message on the supremacy of Christ over the nations. This was a huge honor for Joe, who was here thirty years ago.

After the service I held the sword (that drew blood) and was used by the ancestor of John G. Paton in one of the great battle of the Covenanters. The sword was light and well-balanced. You can see the image here.

Sincerely,

Douglas W. Phillips
