Thank you for having the courage to write this, Richard. I have never read such a clear explanation of what we churches are trying to navigate. I'm also "just plain different" and find your posts and books to be a lifeline. Yes, "all of God's children"--Amen!
It's hard to a conservative to read this text. There are some times that we hear to "appeal to both sides" or that "the Gospel is not conservative or progressive" but It look like this is just a ploy to spill out a majorly progressive message. I know that it's unfair to your work, specially in light of your recent series on pornography. But alas, I believe this is a difficult in conservative circles now.
