In pieces like Ed Young, Jr. With A Tearful Tribute: The Vision Of “Pastors” Ed And Lisa I’ve talked about an emerging ecumenical magisterium that appears to be forming. This particular group of Seeker Driven and […]

By John Downey of Writer’s Block In a recent article in TheNew Yorker, former pastor Rob Bell is profiled. Not only does the article reveal that Rob was far more liberal, far longer than anyone realized.
