Continuing the Conversation: A Question for Doug
OK, for now I give up. I think that as we find things to comment on, we should return to Frame's book, but I want to hop into a side question, for a moment.
Doug: Do you find it odd that we who are doing this blog are both on trajectories away from denominational American evangelicalism?
I'm increasingly focussed on local churches, whose locality is as important as their cooperation, on my view; and on international cooperation, specifically, on Japanese churches working with American churches (there are a number of key, and nation-specific, problems we can address).
You seem to be heading into catholicity, Anglicanism being no more strictly a denomination than Rome or Antioch (albeit Anglicans and especially American Episcopalians often just act like another denomination); and in the missionary wing of that church, no less.
Any observations about that? Do you think this is going to be a generational tendency?
