After a recent (read 5 minutes ago) conversation with a fellow GST'er I decided I should post on what issues in ministry I would fall on my sword for.
1. The Right Women have to Participate fully in the life of the church. I will go to the mat for my sisters in Christ to be able to use their gifts within the life of the church. It is a shame that over half of the church should be silenced because we men are afraid to give up our power.
2. Baptism. I think that baptism is essential for salvation, but more importantly it is an important ritual and road-marker on the Christian journey. It is an act that is filled to overflowing with meaning and importance. In baptism, we reenact the gospel story in our lives and let Jesus have the claim on our lives. We have done a disservice to it by harping on its essentiality, and not its essence.
That's about all I can think of right now.
