Emily is spot on …

I mentioned Emily in a note last week. Today I read her move to work toward a PhD at the University of Dayton. She so nails Southern Baptist dialogue on things theological.

Often, doing theology in conservative evangelicalism (or more narrowly, in the Southern Baptist realm) is a bit like listening to yourself speak. (I hope you know what I mean. Even those who disagree strongly tend to disagree strongly about issues unique to evangelicalism, not engaging the broader Christian traditions, who also have tremendously valuable things to say.) I wanted a more ecumenical and more challenging environment to experience the highest level of my education.
