That being said, I must say that I have never heard a liberal in the denomination begin sexual morality discussions with what Johnson mentions, to wit: "Is this relationship sincere?" I have often heard liberals begin with, "Is this relationship loving and just?" -- but never "sincere". Maybe this self-confessed liberal has missed it, but I must ask: Where have liberals in the church -- or any other group, for that matter? -- elevated sincerity to such a privileged place in the pantheon of Christian virtues? At the risk of putting too fine a point on the matter: I think we all understand that Adolf Hitler was sincere. - (Rev.) Charles Booker-Hirsch Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:24:52 +0100
