Mark and Corinna Orlovsky will be working on the staff and they will be joined by John Dickson the second week if he is able. This year the camp session order has been changed. Following middle camp at two-week intervals will be the intermediate, senior, and junior sessions in that order.

Confusing Religious Terms

The average person is often confused by popular terms that are used to describe religious movements. This will be an effort to clarify these terms, but because personal views within each group can vary widely, it will necessarily be inexact.

Liberals.  This word has many connotations, depending on the subject and the view of the user. In the religious world it is used to describe those who deny the divine inspiration of the Bible, the miracles of the Bible, and among some, the deity of Christ. Liberals often disagree among themselves.

Fundamentalists.  This applies to some who embrace a brand of religious conservatism that accepts the verbal inspiration of the Bible, dispensationalism, and pre-millennialism. They are seen by some of orthodox convictions as being anti­intellectual, and often belligerent, which they would deny.

Evangelicals.  These are religious conservatives who accept the divine inspiration of the Bible, but are less rigid in their doctrinal views. The term embraces a wide spectrum of perspectives, with some evangelicals being Calvinistic and some pre-millennial. Many evangelicals accept the faith only viewpoint. They generally differ from fundamentalists in their attitudes. Most in the conservative religious world are evangelicals.

Pentecostals. These people lay great stress on the spiritual gifts described in the New Testament, especially speaking in tongues. Their faith is highly subjective, emphasizing feelings more than biblical teachings. They are highly evangelistic. The Assemblies of God is the largest American Pentecostal body.

Charismatics. The charismatic movement began fifty years ago and shares many of the Pentecostal views. They are concerned with spiritual renewal and emphasize spiritual gifts, especially tongue speaking. They are found in many Catholic and Protestant bodies that do not generally endorse their points of view.
