“Creeds and Deeds”
Feb 12th, 2008 by John
My friend, Denny Gunderson, over at Dionysius Wept has written a provocative piece about “Creeds and Deeds.” Here’s a teaser…
“One [issue] is creedal arrogance. In whatever form it comes or from whomever it emanates, it is repugnant even if I agree with the creed. That is because, aside from matters of the meaning and interpretation of the sacred text, projections of certainty become projectiles of heartlessness when hurled at people looking for help. We should feel offended when a caretaker acts like an undertaker, burying people under a scriptural mudslide.”
It’s worth your time to read the entire essay.
