The Christian “middle”
The BLOGCORNER Preacher has a take on John Danforth’s recent profile piece in the Washington Post.
The award for best lines goes to the following:
As a mainline Episcopal priest, retired U.S. senator and diplomat, Danforth worships a humbler God and considers the right’s certainty a sin.
The article is, basically, about what a nice fellow John Danforth is, and what knuckle-dragging troglodytes those beastly evangelicals are.
Now, to me, the term “mainline Episcopal priest” could just as easily have been “priest of Satan.”
…and
…it appears that he’s fallen into the trap of politicizing Christianity, which is the crime he accuses us of. How so? Because he urges that we all become “moderate”, and should occupy “the Christian middle.”
Sounds like someone who is embarrassed by the Gospel, in that it might offend some.
