Young is, as usual, good value. What I find fascinating is that Moyes can
go into print in such a public forum in such a scathing way about a church that
he says he loves!

Subject: something else good from crosslight this month (september)Norman Young responds to Gordon Moyes
I doubt any reader of the Basis of Union, with its insistence on the Triune God; on the Lordship of Jesus Christ, incarnate, crucified, risen and ascended; the ongoing power and presence of the Holy Spirit; the indispensability of the sacraments in feeding God's pilgrim people; and the unique authority of the Old and New Testaments by which the faith of the church is "nourished and regulated" would come to the conclusion that the founding ethos of the church was to "rid itself of traditional theology and authority and remove all sense of mystery" (Moyes).
