Graham, I apologize for misrepresenting your position, that certainly was not my intention. As for "challenge" it is certainly true that you never used that word at least in my recollection. I should have said "invited." I do feel challenged, and that is not at all a negative. Your posts on reformation quoting Michael and Spong have challenged me to understand better what I believe, why and how I think the faith I hold dear is and will change. If I misunderstood you in your comments about Michael and Spong, again, I apologize. I felt you were quite positive about their thoughts and as you know, I disagree with many of those.
I'll be more careful going forward in this.
