Conservative, charismatic and open. Really?

[Anglican Mainstream] 27 May 2007--Into the discussions about Wycliffe Hall has been brought a way of differentiating evangelical Anglicans as either open, charismatic or reformed/ conservative which has been around for some time. This is offered as a neutral description in an effort to understand, relate to, appreciate and include all types of evangelicals. A similar process of differentiation is also taking place in the wider Anglican family about who are the real Anglicans.

However, such differentiation is never entirely innocent. There is no neutral differentiation.

In trying to understand “the other” than them – people define “the other” by suggesting how very different they are.
