Autonomy? Individualism? Both are celebrated in your 'documents'. Neither is compatible with the gospel.
Your argument here is exactly the argument made by the English rulers for anyone leaving the "Church of England" to form congregational churches. The founding fathers of this country captured truths concerning individualism and freedom that the clergy of the churches missed. Open your eyes and see. Has not Providence been with what these men did? How can such be denied? History has affirmed the truth of it, a history through which only God can speak and not man.
Autonomy and individualism is very compatible with the gospel. Our God is not a God of uniformity, but a God of unity in diversity. Just look at Creation. God made man male and female. Why? Diversity. Individualism. Unity through complementary function rather than through uniformity. Look at the multitude of species he created among the animals and plants.
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
