Your attempt to draw a parallel between SBC fundamentalists and those that might be in the Republican Party is at best a stretch. However, your intention is clear: You are now blatantly political.

Are you tired of the doomsday rhetoric about the church in America? Have you noticed that the bandwagon of those predicting the imminent demise of congregational life is filled to capacity? Are you ready to tune out another diatribe proclaiming that the church ship is sinking?

Dallas Willard’s death in May has given us a chance to think about his substantial legacy, and his contribution to the wonderful trend of turning the core evangelical conversation toward discipleship and life in the Kingdom. That is a giant step in the right direction.

My 15-year-old son has taken to introducing me as a “retired pastor.” It’s hard to shake loose of that title for me, too. It’s probably because being a pastor is more of an identity than a job. I’m stumbling my way forward into this new life on the other side of the pulpit.

Moving into new places presents a unique challenge to imagine and re-imagine our past lives in relation to the present locations in which we find ourselves. Walter Rauschenbusch, the late 19th-century and early 20th-century pastor, church historian and social gospel advocate, entered into a new place in 1886.

Every church has a few of them. Some have many — people who live with chronic pain or illness. Some of them live in families or in retirement communities, but many of them live at home, getting by the best they can. I have a new empathy for such people having experienced a taste of what they endure.

The growing disagreement over Calvinism in the Southern Baptist Convention indicates that fundamentalists need to focus on an enemy in order to thrive and as long as there's an enemy to be found, fundamentalism isn’t likely to disappear anytime soon.
