The recent elimination of the national evangelism office of The Episcopal Church has caused me to think about the relative lack of emphasis on conversion in the Episcopal Church, especially when compared to more conservative denominations. In that vein, the below is a quote from a former professor at the Church Divinity School of the [...]

Mark Driscoll on Women in Church Leadership
Posted in american christianity, awful nonsense, church, tagged evangelical theology, ministry, nonsense, the Church, women on 25 September 2009 | 1 Comment »
Uberblogger Halden recently posted the following quote from Seattle pastor Mark Driscoll. Halden also had several lines of colorful commentary to go with it.
