Notes on Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck’s
Why we Love the Church:
in praise of institutions and organized religion
Chapter 6 : Brief Interviews (Snapshots of Churched People)
“Sadly, there seems to be a ‘you’re either young, Reformed, and dogmatic or you’re emergent’ dichotomy forming, and it’s troubling.”
-Ted Kluck, Why We Love the Church, page 144
Young? | Yes |
Reformed? | Leaning that way |
Dogmatic? | You tell me. |
The question is, do I gravitate towards this “side” of the dichotomy because I’ve thought it out and concluded that this side has it right–or am I simply reacting to what I see as the anti-intellectualism and political liberalism of the emergent side?
O, that I would base my opinions and actions on Christ and what He has said rather than on belonging to a certain “camp” of beliefs.
