ditto kostya on Christianity being plural, multiple, and contested. from the very beginning to this day.
so...what i get from that is a freedom to make choices in my practice. i consider it my duty to respect and know the classic formulations, and to pay attention to what the rest of Christendom is doing. but i do consider it my perogative to tell the story in my own words as well. i don't treat the options of Christianities as binding litmus tests, but as the vocabulary with which i can speak.
