Spaulding dismissal II
by Lonnie Buerge, Kansas City, Mo.I read the May issue, as I always do, with interest and expectation. I was struck by the comments of the executive director on page 63, where he wrote that he would “not give a nickel for church unity based solely on common bloodlines. ... ” I agree. However, on page 48 of the same issue, he rejects the gifts of a talented, committed man simply because he loves another man. I guess if the executive director won’t “give a nickel” for a partially inclusive church, I’ll offer a dollar for one that is fully inclusive of all Anabaptist believers.
