Editing Reformed Theological Seminary (section)

== Founding ==
In 1966, conservatives from the Southern Presbyterian Church, the [[Presbyterian Church in the United States]] (PCUS), concerned about the increasing influence of liberalism and [[neo-orthodoxy]] in the denomination's seminaries and pulpits, established Reformed Theological Seminary, independent from the PCUS, along "[[Old School–New School Controversy|Old School]]" Presbyterian lines, to educate ministers.<ref>D.G. Hart & John Muether ''Seeking a Better Country: 300 Years of American Presbyterianism'' (P&R Publishing, 2007) p. 235</ref> RTS has largely served the [[Presbyterian Church in America]] since that denomination's founding in 1973, then later the [[Evangelical Presbyterian Church (United States)|Evangelical Presbyterian Church]] and the [[Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church]] and in more recent years serves a large population of students from [[Particular Baptist]] and independent churches.
