While they rejoiced at the paper's use of feminine imagery, many of the LPTSers were still upset at its insistence on F/S/HS in the baptismal formula. Worse, still, the state of theological education in the mainline churches is so run down that the real issue of the paper escaped notice in the hot-flash of sexist/sexism rhetoric.<BR/><BR/>I'll admit that I was close to <A HREF="http://presbyteer.blogspot.com/2006/06/pcusa-tinkering-with-trinity.html" REL="nofollow">two of the authors of the paper</A>, both of whom I respect. However, <A HREF="http://www.pres-outlook.org/opinion/2608.html" REL="nofollow">as I wrote to Dr. Small</A>, I have serious issues with the Trinity paper in its methodology. I believe that's why it failed so miserably in its (overall good) reflection on what it means to use Trinitarian language. It opens us up to lampoons (like <A HREF="http://www.pres-outlook.com/opinion/1928.html" REL="nofollow">this one</A>).Chris Larimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01770607122746467750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30216641.post-67380099426683336992008-06-15T06:50:00.000-04:002008-06-15T06:50:00.000-04:00Chris said...
