Served on the 1965 Fraternal Relations Committee that formed the Reformed Presbyterian Church and the Evangelical Synod
In the 1930s, as churches shifted their doctrine, Drs. Buswell, Cornelius Van Til, Harold S. Laird, and Rev. C. J. Gresham Machen, among others, refused to comply and sought to curb the rise of liberalism. The result was the formation of a new Presbyterian denomination. Dr. Buswell would later be elected as the moderator of various General Synods on three separate occasions (1936, 1944, and 1956).
