Dr Clark, If there is a Q&A, I would love to hear any thoughts she and/or her husband have regarding being part of a Reformed Church in the Southeast. I, too, live in North Carolina (different part of the state though). Aside from PCA and ARP churches, there are very few Reformed churches. And even fewer that do not allow instruments in worship. It would be interested to hear from them regarding what it is like to be part of what is essentially a pretty unique church in the Southeast.
