What's wrong with my tagboard?
Yeah, what the hell's wrong with my tagboard. :(
This is so irritating, and I thought that Firefox would be the end of my page loading problems. Apparently nothing is perfect.
Anyway, I honestly felt that the discussion on evangelicalism and interdenominationalism scraped the surface of the issues involved. Not that I really am in the know of such issues.
But the brute fact is the lack of education of which reading plays an important part. If the council does not read, how would you expect them to get aquainted with issues? The lack of awareness of this issues will show in the shallowness of opinions expressed and lack of understanding in the the history of denominations or evangelicalism.
It certainly doesn't help that the wrap up was filled with the sort of "two positions and find a middle way" kind of conclusion. That does not spur deep thinking.
In the case of evangelicalism: I would have asked the questions: What is the history behind the movement? Why evangelical? What are the core values? Today, is it a necessary distinctive?
In the case of interdenominationalism: Why denominations? Are we interdenominational? Why or why not? Does interdenominationalism entail a weakening of strictness in reading the bible? What practices or culture in CF reflects this distinctive?
For me personally at least, evangelicalism relates to the fact that God who is above history has spoken in history. It relates to the authority of the word over the created order. It relates ultimately to obedience.
Interdenominationalism would relate to unity and to the nature of unity within the community of believers. Is total agreement unity? Is tolerance unity? Is "live and let live" unity? I would tend to think that unity relates to how we should passionately seek friendship despite passionately holding on to convictions.
That's all for now, tomorrow is another long day. Zzzz.....
