For the sectarian the notion of Christendom, of national and international transformation, is itself an evil. For them, the Church is an elect community simply existing in this world and waiting for the next. Christian families and even Christian schools are acceptable, as isolated from the world, but discipling the nations is rejected. King Jesus is king only of the Church and individuals, not of nations. This is certainly not the perspective of the Westminster Standards, which were written at the command of Parliament to be the constitution of a national church! But it has become the gut-level perspective of many sectarian Presbyterians today. Those who attack the concept of Christendom are far removed from the Standards they often so loudly advocate. -- James B. Jordan
