Comments on: Open and liberal evangelism? http://www.kerrins.co.uk/blog/2008/01/open-and-liberal-evangelism/ Sun, 24 Jan 2010 15:35:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: G Robson http://www.kerrins.co.uk/blog/2008/01/open-and-liberal-evangelism/comment-page-1/#comment-1013 G Robson Thu, 22 May 2008 09:57:19 +0000 http://kerrins.co.uk/blog/2008/01/open-and-liberal-evangelism.html#comment-1013 Evangelism is not to be about the growth of the church primarily. It is about declaring truth Those who espouse an evangelical position have misunderstood the Gospel and what Jesus said, or the interpretation of the Greek words which are used. Instead they attach their theology to their false understanding of evangelism, which is a distortion of the Gospel and the Church. Storkey is right and the College is wrong. But that is not a surprise, and John Saxbee is right when he claims that 'good news' is to be understood in things that go on in churches anyway. Read his Liberal Evangelism. It is the evangelicals who are destroying the church, not the more liberal theologies. Evangelism is not to be about the growth of the church primarily.

I do pray that God will give wisdom to the authorities and to everyone involved so that there won't be more damage for Wycliffe Hall, the Church, and the name of Christ. Are you currently studying at Wycliffe? I hope things are okay there. God's peace! Hi Ben, good post!

Can you link to anything written by John Saxbee to explain further? My point was that the lawyer seems to be confusing 'evangelism' and 'evangelicalism'. The debate is not about how the church should conduct its evangelism, but whether Elaine Storkey's 'brand of evangelical Anglicanism' (as the original article stated) is different enough to Wycliffe Hall's 'brand of evangelicalism' to qualify under the religious discrimination act.

There are two kinds of evangelism - those who attach their theology, and those who do not. John Saxbee proved that there were two kinds of evangelism , so Elaine Storkey's lawyer is right in his opinion, not making a false distinction between evangelism and evangelicalism which are two entirely different things.

I've linked to you from my article, which is still getting silly numbers of hits. Oh, and don't criticise lawyers for not knowing the difference between evangelicalism and evangelism if you can't even get Elaine's name right....
