more thoughts on Spong
All reformers have been labelled ratbags
but
his theology is wrong -- I go along with biblical teaching on the fundamentals of our faith
but
another part of his thrust is right -- the church is insular, middle-class, married etc. as I said before
yet
within the church are some minor aspects that are very good, modern and outreaching, and I hope David Peake's efforts succeed. The North and the West of Melbourne seem very much empty of Christainity but for some small churches, and there seems to be a need for a new approach or many new approaches
and
I think Jack Spong stirs up a very worthwhile debate -- who does the church appeal to?
enough, I thought what you wrote David was very wise.
