Pilgrim’s Podcast #12: Bishop Glenn Davies, Reformed Theology, Baptism and Good Banter!

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.

I’ve recently been trying to work through what baptism means. Big, tough questions indeed! Anyway, it was a nice distraction from Church History study tonight, but then I came across a funny quote from one of the Cappadocian fathers on baptism (which qualified the distraction as study!):

“In whose name were you baptised? In the Father’s name? Jewish, but good. In the Son’s name? Good; no longer Jewish, but not yet perfect. In the Holy Spirit’s name? Excellent! This is perfect.”

- Gregory of Nazianzus
