I recently entered a small discussion on sovereignty/free will etc etc on Facebook, of all places, because Gareth asked me to. Anyway, because it saves me writing another article, I’m just going to whack it in here! I think it makes sense without follow-up or context.
(Yes, that analogy isn’t mine. Shh)

Your face is a classic example of low-Church, anti-instrumentalist, historically-discontinuous, Cartestian-Lockean-Baconian democratized American Evangelicalism’s reduction of truth and meaning to black squiggles on pieces of paper and the intellection which takes place on their basis!
Driscoll speaks wisely on the recent Episcopalian drama. It’s folly compunding folly.
EDIT: I’m amused that since everyone is currently talking about gay female bishops, I look at the concept of a ‘gay female bishop’ and I find 3 things wrong with it. Approximately one per word. Is there anything right with it? The irony is […]
