carlscheider Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Well, this is interesting. I have been reading the good Bishop's column for years now - never participated in the website nor this discussion group. Let's see how this works. This is my response to the latest column by Mr. Plumer. I think he was spot on. Curious what the larger audience out there thinks. I kind of assumed there would already by a discussion started on this topic. But . . I plan to look around a bit. Thanks. Column by Fred Plumer Thank you sir, for this most recent comment. I will also post this to the discussion forum if I can figure out how to do that. Your note on the expectations you have of authors was the best short summary of Progressive Christianity I have seen. Thanks for that. AND . . . you are right. Some of your authors have fallen short of my expectations. Some of them seem trapped in tradition or superstition. I have considered cancelling the subscription several times in the past few months. I tend to lean toward the "atheistic" side of this, but I don't really like that term. Non-Theist might be better. And I like to think of myself as an ardent Christian in spite of that. BUT . . . you give me hope. I don't know what your full time job is, but thank you for this. AND I intend to find out what other resources Progressive Christianity provides as an organization. Bishop Spong was a great introduction to this, but the quality has deteriorated. I will try to be more specific and give more critique in the future, and we shall see. Thanks. Do appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
