And I'm sure it's true. But there are approximately two billion people, including at least 50 million Anglicans, who would regard this as a demonstration either of an amazing degree of Scriptural ignorance or an even more amazing degree of self-serving doublethink.<BR/><BR/>Or, worse yet, an utterly incredible degree of complacent cultural arrogance.<BR/><BR/>So the natural question arises, since Christianity has always been countercultural (at some times more than at others), "it's all very well to claim that theological orthodoxy and social progressivism are compatible, and in many eras they have been, but suppose for the sake of argument they were not? How would you prioritize them?"Craig Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599485715178418928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902456.post-28148397250511159752007-08-23T03:27:00.000-07:002007-08-23T03:27:00.000-07:00I agree with you, but...tell that to the blind rig...I agree with you, but...tell that to the blind right!!David G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15579600744831973105noreply@blogger.com
