Westminster’s R.S. Clark has noted on his Heidelblog that the Federal Vision movement has “gone international. If it’s in Poland it’s probably spread elsewhere.” He concludes that “We allowed this thing to grow and now it’s spreading. It’s time to move beyond reports. It’s time to act.” His impression seems to be that the Internet is responsible.
In fact, James Jordan, one of the developers of the Federal Vision theology, visited Poland in 2005 and lectured there. Several posts in the, now defunct, 40 Bicycles blog covered this. Further the Federal Vision has been promoted through the Reformed Seminary of Saint Petersburg, Russia, under the sponsorship at the time of the supposedly anti-Federal Vision Mississippi Valley Presbytery of the PCA. For more detail on who is involved see the newsletter of the Slavic Reformation Society showing the board members at the lower right of page 2. The result, not surprisingly, has been to split the nascent Reformed church in Russia between Federal Vision and non-Federal Vision congregations.
Where the Federal Vision has not gotten in, the New Covenant Theology has. Its representatives have traveled to various central European countries to establish their theology in the newly formed Reformed congregations.
