[Vision2020] Pot Calling Kettle, Once Again

[keely emerinemix]

I would add that Wilson has also written with some scorn about evangelicals. 
  Also, a tenet of evangelicalism is the belief in the need for sharing the 
gospel for the saving of souls, something that I would think his hard 
Calvinism would find unnecessary.

On the other hand, it's probably not a selling point to trumpet that bedrock 
Kirk beliefs include contempt for government, allegiance to the Confederacy, 
strict patriarchy in and out of the home, and a post-millennialism that 
leapfrogs over improving society straight to taking dominion over it and 
annihilating "God's enemies," so I can understand the need to re-tool the 
demographic description.

Fortunately, though, we don't all live in Boise . . .

Visionaries:

In a recent blog "Libel Simpliciter Topic: Moscow Diversity Cleansing"
<dougwils.com> Doug Wilson, the subject of a recent opinion piece in the  
Idaho
Statesman, describes his faith community:

"What we actually are could accurately be described as evangelical and
Reformed Presbyterians."

Wilson's  statement deliberately creates the impression that his  faith
community has a connection with the Presbyterian church.  That  is simply 
not true.
  Neither Doug Wilson nor Christ  Church is affiliated with the any session 
of
the Presbyterian  church.  Christ Church, and other like-minded churches are
members of the  Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches, an alliance
Wilson helped  to create.  CREC uses a presbyterian - note the small "p" - 
form
of  governance.  A claim to similarities in organizational structure does 
not
convey the right to claim a denominational  connection.

Before Doug Wilson starts howling about how he is  characterized in the
press, he would be wise to exercise a minimal level  of conscientiousness in 
how he
  describes himself.

"And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him  five smooth stones out of
the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he  had, even in a scrip;
and his sling [was] in his hand: and he drew near to the  Philistine. "
1 Samuel 17:40
