I agree with Mike when he says this article by Wallis is so good, it’s “un-excerptable”, but as Mike did, I tried as well, but ending up quoting something from nearly every paragraph. This is a great resource for serious contemporary Bible Study that is relevant and confronting. We SO NEED a Confessing Church. But then, again, that would “keep our numbers down”, since it’s not exactly a popular thing.

This article is so consistently on the mark IMO that it’s almost unexcerptable. I’m trying anyway: these segments stand out the most to me, and serve maybe as an overview, but do read the entire article for its full effect.
