The Post Evangelical - 5 Woolly liberals?
by SPCK - Dave Tomlinson
5 Woolly liberals? And so to the crunch question: isn’t post-evangelical just another way of saying ‘woolly liberal’? It never ceases to amaze me how paranoid evangelicals are about liberalism. Any deviation from the ‘straight and narrow’ and, ‘Whoa! I think you need to be carefu…
