This is an absolute cracker of a Pilgrim’s Podcast! It might even top last week’s one! Bishop Glenn Davies joined us for a great interview about a whole bunch of things! In fact, we just touched the tip of an iceberg’s worth of discussion – hopefully there’ll be a part two soon.
We discussed Glenn’s theological training and time at Westminster Theological Seminary. We heard about his training in good Reformed theology under John Frame, and also his appreciation for Cornelius Van Til and Vern Poythress. We also heard all about exciting opportunities within the Anglican Church in Sydney to grow new churches within the parish system. And we spent had a cracker of a chat about Infant Baptism (which Glenn prefers to call Covenantal Baptism!) and the Sacraments.
So much good stuff here, and we really enjoyed a great bit of banter with Bishop Glenn. Hope this Podcast is as much of a blessing to you, as it was to us to be part of!
Update: Here is a link to something Glenn has published on the topic of Covenant and Baptism: download.

What a cracker of an episode. Great stuff guys. Nothing like unashamed reformed orthodoxy!

I finally(!) listened to my first Pilgrim’s podcast. Nice work Mark & Steve. Good point from Glenn about ‘Covenental Baptism’. The only thing that was lacking any Bible evidence to back up his point, even though Calvin and the Prayer book are helpful.

Hey Anton! Glad you enjoyed it! Plenty more banter to come
Ah yes, the old contraints of podcasting and biblical input. Perhaps check out the link I included to GD’s paper on Baptism. I’d hope there’d be plenty of bible in there!
Have a good weekend bro!

Hey mate – enjoyed the podcast, but really enjoyed having all the details in front of me in Glenn’s lecture notes. I love the distinction that is made between parents nurturing their Christian children, and treating them as a pagan missionfield:
Awesome!

this is great. I’m doing my thesis on covenant and baptism and so found this. I might add that I loved the shout out to the Jacksons, I miss them. xx
