I recall many years ago reading a statement by a more "progressive" writer in our midst. He was talking to his child, who had asked about the United Methodist Church that they were driving past, "Dad, what's the difference between that church and ours?" His answer was that there was nothing different that was important enough to worry about.

My reaction was: Then why not merge with them, to reduce the division in Christianity? Why are you still in a Church of Christ congregation if that is what you truly think? And likewise when I hear scathing criticisms.

My suspicion was that he did not believe what he was saying, that his actions spoke louder than his words, but in progressive circles he was saying what they like to say and hear.
