Dr. Phil Ryken: Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia to leave for Presidency of Wheaton College

Dr. Phil Ryken of Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia heads out to become the President of Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL. This historic church in downtown Philadelphia has stood nobly for Reformed Theology. Sharon and I were members there while attending Westminster Theological Seminary. As such, we came to know and become friends with Dr. James Montgomery Boice, not just during those years but throughout our years with the military and until his death, 15 Jun 2000. Jim started the famous Philadelphia Conferences on Reformed Theology that did so much, nationally, to advance the biblical faith. Jim maintained and Phil continued the great and traditional ministry of expository biblical preaching. Tenth was always the richer for it.

When Phil goes to Wheaton, we hope his first act will be to remove the picture of "Charles Finney" that hangs in the Billy Graham Centre at Wheaton.

We wish the Rykens all good success and Tenth Presbyterian as they seek to replace their pastor. It's Wheaton's gain and Tenth's loss.
