Are we united by hate?
Ben Merkle of New St Andrew’s College recently preached at the church where Pete Hegseth, US Secretary for War, attends in Washington.

Against Christianity: Christendom and Christian Nationalism in Peter Leithart’s thought
As mentioned previously, there is a diversity to Federal Vision with differences between key proponents, just as you might identify differences among the early reformers, Calvin, Zwingli and Luther disagreeing on the nature of the sacraments among other things.
