Your comments regarding a pastor in the EOP, ...Tom,<br />Your comments regarding a pastor in the EOP, who previously was too busy to get involved, is remniscent of what I have seen in our own presbytery.<br /><br />There are those pastors who "say" they are upset with what is going on in the denomination, but when pressed to go public with resolutions, declarations, or actions in opposition, they find all sorts of excuses to not act.<br /><br />I applaud you and the Kirk of the Hills for not coming up with all sorts of excuses to do nothing.<br /><br />In the PCUSA the ones I have the most displeasure over are the so-called conservatives who do nothing. <br /><br />The liberals in the PCUSA are at least clear in their agenda. Even though I totally disagree with the liberal agenda, I applaud the liberals for their clarity and willingness to stand behind their liberal positions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364304.post-58530872313214015412006-11-06T18:38:00.000-06:002006-11-06T18:38:00.000-06:00tom, i have known you for many years and early on ...tom, i have known you for many years and early on urged you to give up and abandon the pcusa. you steadfastly refused and sought to stop the tide of apostasy in the denomination. therefore i am confounded by those that accuse the kirk, the kirk's leadership, wayne and you of abandoning the ship too early.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364304.post-82506017421168897492006-11-06T16:42:00.000-06:002006-11-06T16:42:00.000-06:00Tom,

It implies that something will be forthcoming in EOP that prompts me to withdraw from commenting further beyond my post in response to "unsophist said".<br /><br />Again, I wish to thank you for maintaining this forum.<br /><br />RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29364304.post-77890360821009878862006-11-06T13:21:00.000-06:002006-11-06T13:21:00.000-06:00Tom,

Stating clearly where you stand and what you see as the real state of things in your former denomination<br /><br />2. Being willing to admit that others who share your theological convictions might see things differently.<br /><br />This post admirably presents not only your candid evaluation of where this denomination is going and also allows us to dialogue over that evaluation, leaving room to differ and engage on the real issues at hand.<br /><br />The sad thing about this is that people have used this opportunity as a chance to fling mud at fellow believers and attack you personally for being so open and honest. What a shame!<br /><br />As to my opinion about what is before us:<br /><br />I vacillate from day to day, asking is this ship on the iceburg and sinking or can we still steer away with more effort?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
