Well, yes, of course. But who decides what constitutes a compelling argument? We all have our prejudices and blind spots; we all get our wheels stuck in ruts. I try to listen carefully to disagreements, but I find that it can take time before I am willing to acknowledge that my view needs amending or rejecting. At the moment I feel committed to mining this narrative-realist seam - I think that there is a lot more to get out of it; I think it explains a lot; and I think it has the potential to provide a radically different framework for the church’s self-understanding and mission. But that doesn’t mean I’m right - it’s just a voice in a conversation. Yours is another voice, and I listen to it quite carefully. Whether or not either of us shifts our ground in the process is probably less important than that we listen to each other.
