<DIV>In a recent blog "Libel Simpliciter Topic: Moscow Diversity Cleansing"
<dougwils.com> Doug Wilson, the subject of a recent opinion piece in the
<EM>Idaho Statesman</EM>, describes his faith community:<BR></DIV>
<DIV>"What we actually are could accurately be described as evangelical and
Reformed Presbyterians."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Wilson's statement deliberately creates the impression that his
faith community has a connection with the Presbyterian church. That
is simply not true. Neither Doug Wilson nor Christ
Church is affiliated with the any session of the Presbyterian
church. Christ Church, and other like-minded churches are members of the
Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches, an alliance Wilson helped
to create. CREC uses a presbyterian - note the small "p" - form of
governance. A claim to similarities in organizational structure does not
convey the right to claim a denominational
connection. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Before Doug Wilson starts howling about how he is
characterized in the press, he would be wise to exercise a minimal level
of <SPAN
style="COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Georgia">conscientiousness</SPAN> in how he
describes himself. </DIV>
