Be Fair to the Liberals: How Worldview Affects Communion

http://www.tesm.edu/pubs/writings/wrap44bf

[TESM.edu] January 25, 2005--After some years of ecclesiastical combat (Episcopal battlefield), I think I know why so many conservative Christians do not respond to liberalism as strongly as one would expect. They think that liberals are just cheating: that they know the rules, but like spoiled and willful children have decided to play by rules they like better. Since they’re just cheaters, they only need to be shamed into behaving, and if they won’t be shamed into behaving, conservatives can try to change their Church’s rules and structures to prevent the liberals from cheating anymore.
