What happens when someone calls themselves progressive, but still holds on to traditional views? What if it’s an entire church? When do you stand your ground and when do you call it quits? How do both purists and pragmatists learn to work together, especially if there are deep divisions within the two factions? We talk about these questions in the context of two articles posted in the Facebook PAAC group. One is an article by Frances Lee called “Excommunicate Me from the Church of Social Justice” and the other is an editorial written by Lawrence Ware called “Why I’m Leaving the Southern Baptist Convention.” Shout out to Gabriel Chen and Liz Choi for posting those pieces!
