Shifting one's paradigm is not easy, and cannot be forced. If it happens, it works over time based on persuasion rather than coercion, on personal experiments with our always partially different resources. So, in the meantime, we can acknowledge that, and get along, recognizing that despite our differences, we have much that more fundamental to our faith in common. Not to mention dealing the current pandemic. So, along the way, we select seeds to try, soil in which to plant, time to wait, and competing interests and different resources at hand and interpretive frameworks in our heads. It's not a recipe for getting the same results. Disagreement is part of the game and dealing with that is one of life's adventures. I do think it is fun to occasionally look at work (and some times do the original work) that makes it possible to see things I did not see before in places I have looked before. Expanding the mind, enlarging the soul, fruitful and surprising, delicious to the taste, and admittedly, sometimes taking a while to wrap one's head around and get used to.

Best, Kevin Christensen Canonsburg, PA I do respect your work even though I like to argue about it. I'm a hard core believer, like you.
