Abstrakt

The purpose was to understand the factors that contribute to interchurch relations(ICR) neighboring OPC and PCA congregations experience. Qualitative focus group interviews were used with leaders from four engaged neighboring OPC and PCA churches and with leaders of two non-engaged churches. Five factors were identified as encouraging or discouraging local ICR. How congregations do or do not engage reflects what leaders believe about the nature and unity of the church. Conservative Presbyterians have studied and acted more thoroughly to understand and protect the purity of the church than they have to understand and promote the unity of the church.
