Happy New Year to everyone. Isn't it rubbish being back at work?
Never mind, in honour of the new year I've finally got round to setting up a new blog, The Evangelical Liberal. Don't worry, I'm not going all dodgy - well, no dodgier than I've already been for a long time. The title is simply about reclaiming Christ's good news ('evangel') from the religious right, and his freedom ('liber') from the opposite extreme.
It's mainly a blog for anyone who still sees themselves as a broadly evangelical Christian, but finds mainstream, conservative evangelicalism too straitjacketing, black-and-white and overly concerned with correct doctrine at the expense of a genuinely transformed and authentic life. It's about a search for reality, warts and all, rather than an ideal systematised theology that bears little relation to real life.
