Oddly, when Evangelicals say I’m not orthodox, they have to realize that Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox might say the same about them, since apostolic succession and the primacy of the bishops aren’t small matters in those traditions. Calvinists tend to think of Arminians as missing the boat, and Pentecostals are similarly excluded by others - while doing some excluding of their own. And the strictest fundamentalists say that Catholics aren’t orthodox! So I’m sorry that people feel this way about me; I think they’re wrong, but they’re entitled to their opinion. Brian McLaren ☀
