Personally, I think you tend to be open-minded to a fault. Laditudinarianism is you all over. I wish you would hire some theologians with some guts for a change. Can't you find something more fun to do than General Assemblies, General Conferences, and Diocesan Conventions? Some of your good ideas from the last century may need a decent burial if I can work birth in you in the next.

One more thing. Please get out of the middle of the road! That's where all the accidents happen, theologically speaking. Remember, I wasn't crucified for my moderation.
