Because regardless of what word you use, it sets them up as not-B.
This is right, and I think it's really what I was getting at by talking about reframing. Conservative/liberal (regardless of which side you're using to mean "good") is such a big kneejerky thing where people rush to align themselves -- maybe the issue can be seen, not as "your sermons are A while I am B" but as "sermons are assuming (A somehow comparable to B), but really 17".
(edit after vw's post - I'm really sorry about the possible split. I know it's an incredibly traumatic thing for a church to go through, and that's true whatever the theological issues.)
I was at a meeting the other day which was presenting survey results. The terms used were:
- Traditional
- Moderate
- Progressive
But I'm from Soviet Canuckistan so maybe those won't be helpful.
I'm trying to describe that I'm in the interesting position of being theologically conservative while being socially liberal.
Maybe look at some of the red letter Christian stuff? They're pretty interesting. [link]
Ok, what do the Bitches think of this as a bridesmaid dress, minus the obnoxious bow thingy? [link]
It will be the red shown.
It's hard to tell how it falls since she's sitting down.
I love this one [link]
Ooh sexy. And the dress is nice too.
I like the first one better (minus the obnoxious bow thingy.)
I love that one, too DJ, but my sister wants long dresses.
Oh, Aimee, I've been meaning to tell you all day that I'm wearing beaded black gouchos today
with
wedge heels! I'm dubbing this Aimee Day and will henceforth wear whatever the trend is on the 31st of May.
ETA: Yeah I think my wedding style is far more casual than the average bride.
