First I would like to say that I am not sure what the real rub is here. Is it that Tony is a non-foundationalist. Your site seems to betray a particular bent toward Reformed theology. As someone that does not embrace Emergent but rather a historic Anabaptist mindset I have always seemed annoyed by those seeking only to ensure that others are Orthodox, heretical. What does it mean to heretical? Can a heretic enjoy eternal life in the Kingdom of God? I am not an expert at Theology, I am a pastor that likes to read theology lite. I read Calvin, Luther, Barth, Rahner, Moltmann, and a host of others in college and seminary but now I read more lite fare. But my thoughts on heretical is that one can be heretical dissagreing with one creed- nicene- and orthodox on another- the apostles. Which one is the standard. Where do you stop. I can not accept the Westminster confession, does that make me heretical. I knew to many people in seminary that answered that question "Yes." They have left serving God's church and I serve still, not because I am orthodox or heretical, but rather because I love Christ. I want to serve him. The better question to ask is not about someone's orthodoxy, but rather are they serving the Church of God. Orthopraxy is a great term. Thank you again for your post and your thoughts, I shall continue to look for your blogs. Blessings Nick WorksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
