The Gospel Coalition Canada, under the leadership of Pastor Paul Carter, just completed a trilogy of interviews with Bruxy Cavey. The purpose was to gain a clearer understanding of Cavey’s teachings, a body of teachings which I call “Bruxyianity.” My purpose in writing this is to discuss Part II yet again.
