Welcome to the OST nightshift, Peter! Despite anything I’ve ever said (ranted about!) on OST, I am always conscious of some sense of unity, communion yes, whenever I log on. Like you say, this site must be pretty unique in attracting such an eclectic worldwide mix of believers, but what we all have in common at the end of the day is Christ, ad how best to communicate his message in this modern age. My New Year’s resolutuon: give E/C more of a chance, be less confrontational (hopefully!) even read a little N.T. Wright. I guess I’ll never stop being a traditionalist, but I should at least be open to alternative perspectives.
