As thorough as the article is I can think of one more crime committed by churches. The crime of Robbing God of his glory and worship!!

Hi Cheryl,

We agree that calling churches to repentance merely because they handled an issue differently would be wrong. We also recognize that different churches have different needs, and we focused on theological and practical issues that are not subject to change depending on context.

That is to say, the failures we outlined are objectively sinful, and must be repented of. The consequent doubling down, denial, and reframing of the catastrophe is also a deceitful and sinful failure, for which the church must repent.

You’re welcome to interact with our actual arguments, if in fact you read the letter.

Reducing the letter to a petty spat over secondary and permissible differences is simply disingenuous.
