Rose, et al,
I do not read Christ Church Cult Master Douglas Wilson's web-blot. I leave it to more diligent scholars to post items of interest from that excrementitious blot on Christianity on Vision 2020. Therefore, I do not know what his response to the ostensible Christian who wrote Labor of Love is.
If anyone has time and feel it is worth it, perhaps they can post Wilson's response.
However, I note the third paragraph from the end of Labor of Love is the following exhortation to the apparently spiritually vacuous Wilson:
"God may perhaps grant that you, Pastor Wilson, would find peace in repentance, that you would seek out all those that you have treated in a way unbecoming to a Christian and ask their forgiveness."
As you know I am a neither a Christian nor a believer, so I play by different rules that the author(ess) of Labor of Love ostensibly does. Hence, I doubt the author(ess) will approve of the following direct-to-the point response to your post which included a copy of Labor of Love:
For those of you with short memories, the following very singular correction appeared a few months ago at the behest of Wilson in the Daily News:
__________________________________________
ACCURACY MATTERS
Christ Church pastor Doug Wilson was incorrectly quoted in the weekend paper due to a Daily News error.
In the front page article headlined, "Both sides point fingers; can there be
a middle ground?" Wilson was quoted as saying:
"I've never been in anything like this, and I've never changed my views on anything."
What he actually said was:
"I've never been in anything like this, and I've never changed. I've never changed what I do, [sic] I've not changed anything."
When anyone says:
"I've never changed. I've never changed what I do, [sic] I've not changed anything."
Most would take the ordinary meaning of this most curious and revealing utterance as:
"I have never made a mistake!!!"
For those Christians who believe that in some unfathomable, non-linguistically-intelligible/expressible way their alleged God, alleged Holy Ghost, and Jesus are one and the same, the only being who could assert that she/he/it has never made a mistake is one of the incarnations of GOD HIMSELF.
Hence, the above quote from Cult Master Wilson is equivalent to saying:
"I am God!!!"
[Can you say "Are we dealing with severe mental health problems here?"?]
Hence, my guess is that Wilson will blow off the invitation of the author(ess) of Labor of Love to behave like a Christian but continue in his invariable, egomaniacal, megalomaniacal ways and with his apodictic rantings where he is absolutely correct and all those who disagree are hopeless, ignorant, disposable, lost souls forever.
However, in the delusional Wilson's defense, one could say he does resemble in one very pivotal way a certain Greek God: Narcissus*.

Dear Visionaries:
The attached email was forwarded to me this morning by an anonymous author. Apparently it was also sent to Douglas Wilson and members of the Christ Church congregation. I would describe it an exhortation to return to scriptural behavior when involved in contentious situations. I do not know if it will be a blessing to the congregation, you can draw your own conclusions about Doug's response. <dougwils.com>
"The Ultimate High Ground"
Topic: Moscow Diversity Cleansing
On a personal level, I say in truth, that whoever wrote this piece is indeed standing in the Light. I thank him/her for their wise counsel and will try to act/respond to the challenging days ahead in a manner that is appropriate and honorable. (I also wish they would write/publish more. I would like to read more of his/her work.) And I reiterate, I have no idea who wrote this, I had no part in it.
