Overprotective Written by Alan on 2006-07-19 03:09:59 Hey Phil, Great article. I can relate to every point. For the most part, I think we are overprotective of our people doctrinally. We isolate to protect from differing ideas. Thus, over time we become more and more separate, both physically and doctrinally. Alan |
Unity Written by Raymond on 2007-07-21 15:33:19 Hi Phil! I very much enjoyed your article. Coming from a CofC background and now having moved over to the Independent Christian Church I am a large proponent of exploring and restoring unity within the Stone-Campbell Movement. I do not desire the sacrifice of core doctrine for unity, but I believe there is a real need, and possibility, of unity between sections of our heritage. I must confess I do not know much about the ICOC, and wish I knew more, but what I do know is that in most core doctrine areas there is common ground. Maybe it would be good food for thought to consider an article dispelling the misconceptions of the ICOC. Best. Raymond |
