					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<body><div class="mailmunch-forms-before-post" style="display: none !important;"></div><p></p>If you’ve been following my blog for a few years, you will know that the PAOC has been in a process of <a href="https://www.andrewkgabriel.com/2018/04/10/changing-paoc-statement-of-faith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refreshing its Statement of Fundamental and Essential Truths</a> (SOFET). While some changes have been made as recently as 2014, such a project has not been undertaken since 1980.
<p><a href="https://digitaltestimonymag.ca/testimony/fall_2021/MobilePagedReplica.action?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=TXTE11211015002&amp;utm_content=gtxcel&amp;pm=2&amp;folio=30#pg30" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="alignleft" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.andrewkgabriel.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/testimony-Fall-2021_Page_1-2.jpg?resize=383%2C450&#038;ssl=1" alt="" width="383" height="450" loading="lazy"></a></p>
<p>I have served on the PAOC’s Theological Study Commission for some years and have participated in drafting and editing the refreshed SOFET. It was due for a vote in 2020 at the PAOC General Conference, but was delayed for obvious reasons. Now the plan is to vote in May of 2022. As we prepare for the vote, we have been publishing some brief articles reflecting on the proposed SOFET. You can view my article on the Trinity by clicking on the image to the left.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, when the PAOC first published a SOFET in 1928, 29 per cent was devoted to the doctrine of the Trinity. The section is much shorter today, but the PAOC still affirms the doctrine. As I write in the article, “without the Trinity, you have no gospel.”</p><div class="mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle" style="display: none !important;"></div>
