Salsa De Tijera (scissors Sauce)

Many Christians in many evangelical churches these days are confessionally challenged in that they are either cynical, critical, or altogether skeptical of all things confessional — confessional documents, confessional churches, and confessional Christians. We might hear confessionally challenged Christians say things, such as “My only creed is Christ” or “I don’t need theology, just give me Jesus” or “Confessions divide, Christ unites.” Such Christians are actually under the impression that their churches don’t have confessions, when in truth every church has a confession, though it may not be written down and though it may constantly change according to the whims and fancies of the pastor. They have been somehow deceived into thinking that all of the various historic Reformed confessions only serve to divide the church of its unity and disarm the Bible of its authority. Nothing could be further from the truth, for what is so amazing about Reformed confessions in general is not how different they are from one another but how similar they are — how they each use biblical language in affirming the faith once delivered to the saints.

<howle@EbiCom.net>  RECIPES USING ANCHO CHILES (by Diana Kennedy) Toast
8 large Ancho  chiles lightly on a griddle, turning from time to time
so that they  do not burn, for 2-4 minutes.  Slit chiles and remove
seeds, veins  and stems. Put chiles into a bowl and cover with boiling
water.  Let  stand 20 minutes. Remove seeds, veins, and stems.  Cut
into small  pieces with scissors. Chop one small onion and 4 small
cloves of  garlic very finely. Mix all ingredients well with 1/2 cup
olive oil,  1/2 cup red wine vinegar, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Set aside to
season for  at least 2 hrs. Will keep indefinitely in refrigerator.
When ready  to serve, sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Serve with
broiled  meats, carnitas (see recipe), and rice.  CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V2
