Over the past nineteen years over 30 theologians have worked together to create and hone the International Church Council Project affirmation & denial position papers (A&D's). Most of these A&D papers are a “boil-down” of white papers written by International Church Council Project theologians, a few are from other sources indicated in the document. These papers will be the starting point for discussion within the theological committees being gathered in the eighty targeted nations and the United States. Representatives from the national committees will gather in International Church Council Project meetings continent by continent over the next several years. These in turn will send representatives to an International Church Council, not for the purpose of compromise, but to stand in the truth of the historic orthodoxy of Christianity, in order to set a standard of "Unity Around Orthodoxy" thereby drawing a line in the sand that says, "this is true Christianity, if you are on the other side of the line you hold to something other than the historic Christian faith."

Five of the twenty-three documents will not be worked on in committee or at the 2017 Global Council. The reason is that these five they are historic documents that have already been finalized by entities other than the International Church Council Project. The International Church Council Project is using those documents because we believe they are a faithful representation of Scripture on the topics and points they cover. We do not claim they are perfect, but we accept them as historic and so far as we are concerned at this point in history they are sufficient.

The documents we consider finalized are the first four documents and number seventeen.

The five documents are:

·         #1 Biblical Inerrancy

·         #2 Biblical Hermeneutics

·         #3 Christian Worldview

·         #4 Kingdom of God

·         #17 Biblical Distinctives Between Males and Females

Pray for us and with us that God will be honored, the faith of his Church strengthened, and the unbelieving world admonished to bow along with us before the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth who is Jesus Christ, God's only incarnate Son, known and revealed in his inerrant Word, the Bible.

We invite you to sign the Declaration of Biblical Truth which was first signed by the delegates of the Western Hemisphere Consultation on Theology held in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA, August 6-9, 2003.
