I wonder if we've gotten to that point where the vast middle of the church has finally gotten sick of arguing, said "to heck with the fundamentalists--they'll find any excuse for schism" and is ready to move on (the way we did with race and gender).
Have fun debating whether the Biblical ban on women in the pulpit is an "essential of the Reformed faith" in the EPC! I can see it now, the splits into the EEPC (Extra Evangelical PC), SEPC (Super Evangelical), REPC (Right Evangelical PC), HTTPC (Holier Than Thou PC, not the Church of the Internet), EEAIHPC (Everyone Else is a Heretic PC), ANPC (Am Not PC), ASPC (Are So PC), etc.
And yet, the world hasn't ended.
ReplyDeleteIf it does, then I think some of us will be looking for a mid-season transfer....

I love the idea of the "new" group being the HTTPC, though they surely consider themselves that already...
