John Dehlin: Initial Criticisms and Impressions Part I

[_Jason Bourne]

[quote="Droopy]However, I don't think your understanding here is correct. I've been clear, on several occasions, that Dehlin encourages apostatizing members to continue in that process if that is their desire. He also encourages others who wish to stay in the church, in a technical sense, but who do not accept any number of its central truth claims, to stay as well. What I do not see him doing is encouraging or facilitating conversion to and acceptance of those truth claims. But then, of course, that would make him something of an apologist, which is clearly not a part of his projec."[/quote]


I think this is the most accurate description of what Dehlin does that I have seen from you. I agree with it other than the word encourage bolded above. Replace it with supports and you have it accuartaly.

And what is wrong with supporting a member as he finds his own spiritual path through life? It is an insecure person who thinks that his way is the only way.
