KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Michimich -- A new initiative aimed at sharing the theological wealth of Reformed Confessions with the broader Christian world has been launched under the leadership of veteran Michigan executive Anton R. Williams
The Center for Confessionally Reformed Faith and Practice will focus on increasing the utilization of Reformed Confessions, highlighting their distinct benefits to wider Christianity, academia, and modern society.
The Center operates on the premise that while Reformed Christianity possesses a unique legacy, it shares considerable theological overlap with Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and other Protestant traditions. Anchored in the biblical framework of Ephesians 4:1-11, the Center represents a specialized joint effort between two regional organizations: Anton Williams Holding Company (AWHC) of Kalamazoo and GMNF Global Mission Society of Grand Rapids.
Integrating Business Leadership with Global Social Services
The foundation of the new Center relies directly on the distinct corporate capabilities and civic networks of its backing organizations:
