Where Is a Restored Puritan Church?
There isn't one and it's unclear if there ever will be. "But," you protest, "doesn't that defeat the purpose of Restored Puritanism entirely?"
It doesn't, because the goal was never to create a body of organized churches under some papal authority. Restored Puritanism is like Calvinism, it's a school of theology—of correct theology—rather than a church itself.
That doesn't mean there will never be a church that subscribes to our ideas. In fact, there are probably some that do so unknowingly. It just means the goal of having a "Restored Puritan church" is more of "converting a church to Restored Puritan thought", which has historically been our position and which is more viable than creating a brand new church.
As a social and theological movement, our best strategy is to evangelize online. Then it's only a matter of time before our efforts bear fruit in the real world.
