In addition to Clay speaking in the “Reformation 500” Conference in Nikolaev in March, ERSU has cooperated in sponsoring a book on Reformation Theology. Sadly, many Protestants here don’t even understand the basic doctrines of the Reformation, so these Reformed teachers and leaders have written a book to be presented on Reformation Day -- exactly 500 years since Martin Luther’s “95 Theses.” Clay had the honor of writing the final chapter for the book, showing the Practical Application of the doctrines of the Reformation.
On that day, Reformation Day, ERSU Seminary is sponsoring a conference and seminar at Dragomanov University. The President of Ukraine, Pyotr Poroshenko, declared 2017 “The Year of the Reformation”, which has raised interest and helped open doors for these events. We pray that the GRACE of the Lord Jesus will be kept in focus, preaching our ONE and glorious Gospel, and not simply glorifying our past.
At the request of the Ukrainian Presbytery, Clay also wrote a 30-page History of the Presbyterian Church in Ukraine. So, 2017 has been a busy year so far!
