Biographical / Historical

Even though Harry Clark left us with a small collection of papers, information about him is sparce. All that we can know about him (based on the nature of the documentation that he left us) is that he must have been a conservative Christian who was actively involved in the Bible Presbyterian and Orthodox Presbyterian branches of the Presbyterian denomination. He also had connections with Westminster Theological Seminary and Faith Theological Seminary.
