How the Fall Makes You Feel | Donald Miller's Blog

"Often when I consider the ramifications of the fall and how narrowly we define and reduce those complicated dynamics, how we reduce them to lust and greed and petty vices, I realize something much greater has happened. Essentially, we are all calling out for God to touch us that we may know we are here, and yet he waits, and we go untouched and seek out the knowing we exist in a thousand other ways."

This is Not Actually a Blog Post – Brian McLaren

Brian McLaren traces his own journey of thinking about homosexuality. Regardless of whether you agree with him or sit to his left or right, it's a good read, especially in light of part 2.

This is Not Actually a Blog Post – Brian McLaren

And this is the aforementioned part 2. It's important to see this, in light of all the recent criticisms of Jim Wallis and Sojourners. My own view is that if progressive types can't accept someone who may or may not disagree with them on one issue (but has thus far not taken a position), but has definitely dropped the ball on a justice issue for whatever reason, they are acting as badly as conservatives who do the same thing and are rightly criticized for it.
