Act 6, 1997 (VI) – Act anent Theonomy. 21st May 1997.

The General Assembly declare that the teachings commonly known as Theonomy or Reconstructionism contradict our subordinate standard, the Confession of Faith and are inconsistent with our supreme standard, the Bible, particularly on the question of the expiry of the judicial laws. They further declare that these teachings are contrary to the Church’s understanding of the powers of the civil magistrate as expressed in Act XII 1846. They direct that this declaration be sent to all Kirk Sessions and Presbyteries, together with the relevant part of the Report.
