And some of them may be effectively ministering to others who are in a similar place.
This is the best explanation I have seen in a long while as to why we need different types of churches or ministry.

I know, I know, I need to get out more.
Hmm, yeah, well, if you're thinking about this stuff in bed, you should be scared, don't you think! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I'd be interested in your take on it, though.
Sorry Seeker, I was a bit flippant before and didn't answer your final question. What I was pondering was the ease of use of "liberal" as an adjective to describe evangelicals (as I for example consider myself a 'liberal evangelical'), whereas "evangelical" as an adjective to describe a liberal doesn't work in quite the same way. I don't think.
But there was a thread a while ago on all these labels, so I don't think there's much point rehashing it.

Um, not sure if I'm supposed to answer or not. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
I think that "evangelical" to describe "liberal" can have a meaning. Insofar as evangelicalism has a particular sort of history which is mostly not associated with simple inerrantism (of whatever flavour). But, yep, whatever.

Chorister,
I would never harm a teddy bear ![[Disappointed]](graemlins/disappointed.gif) .
And St Elmo's fire doesn't burn hot. It flickers along the handrails and around the rigging. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
