Old Earth Ministries Reviews |

Episcopal Church - USA
A review of the Episcopal Catechism revealed no statements about the creation. A search of their site revealed a Forum article on Creation and Evolution. In it, several answers are given, both for and against Theological Evolution. Both positions are accepted by ministers in the church. Based on the above, it is acceptable for a member of the Episcopal church to believe in an old earth.

This Episcopal denomination holds to the 39 Articles of Religion, which contain no reference to the length of creation. A review of their Constitution and Canons page revealed no information about creation. There should be no problems for an old earth believer in this denomination.

Fire Baptized Holiness Church of God of the Americas
A review of their Beliefs page shows no statements concerning the age of the earth. No other pages on their website mentions creation, therefore it appears that they have no requirements concerning creation science. Based on this limited information, we encourage people who are interested in this denomination to check out the individual church and see if they are tolerant of old earth belief.
