I like this quote:

“So this is my hope, not for change – how can you change the biblical teachings? But maybe a real pastoral and evangelical concern for the church: How do we present the good news of the family to this generation, with its limitations, with its greatness, with its unique experiences?”

That was my favorite part of the article. Great quote.
 
Yes, I agree - this is great. I think the bottom line at the synod will be how many go which way. My gut feeling is there are more in this camp. 🙂

We could be overstressing big time. Or, maybe not, we’ll see. Don’t let it ruin your summer. 😛 We’re probably all right.

I think that quote is the most level headed logical non-agenda driven quote I have seen on the upcoming conference. And I hope it is true.
