What level of disagreement ...Re small c catholic:<BR/><BR/>1. What level of disagreement is acceptable, and how does it affect how you're willing to cooperate with certain groups? (e.g. you've blogged in favour of the Together for the Gospel movement before, but if memory serves correct they don't allow those in favour of female pastors to join them)<BR/><BR/>2. How do you propose to deal with inactive Christianity when speaking of "small c catholicism"? Lately I've been blogging on marriage and cynicism, with a heavy dose of statistics thrown in. (Three posts so far, starting with <A HREF="http://www.rotundus.com/node/617" REL="nofollow">this one</A>). One of the interesting things that the statistics suggest is that for the "born again Christian" category that a lot of polling agencies use, they have a higher divorce rate than the population at large, but if you add regular church attendence as a factor in classifying christians for the purposes of polling, then the statistics give you a lower rate of divorce than the population at large. Given Jesus' criticisms of the Pharisees, "religiously active" and "genuine believer" must be seen as two different categories, but how should one deal with the way that, e.g., survey data seems to suggest that you're dealing with two populations with very distinct characteristics?Dave114https://www.blogger.com/profile/07969629883202634931noreply@blogger.com
