Well, Perspectives must be getting heat for the article on Presbyterians and Separatist Evangelicals because the editor, Sharon K. Youngs, has posted a note on the web site indicating that the e-zine is about people’s perspectives, the article is the perspective of the author, the Rev. R. Milton Winter, and next month there will be an alternate viewpoint on the discussion.
As I have stated in this blog before, I have no objection to intellectual discussion and a recognition that we as Presbyterians are good at it and should pride ourselves on it. However, the way that we sometimes do it, like the present example, does not always put us in the best and most helpful light for the people who are not as familiar with this intellectual exercise.
