[Vision2020] Politics?

[Bill London]

Answering the "unanswerable" question....

There is an easy and obvious answer to this question, and one that I tried to provide at the disputatio event....

Guyer left town for his own reasons.  Dale says he left to start another church.  The rumors I heard are that Guyer left in disgust with the mean-spirited actions of Dale and others at Christ Church.
Whatever reason, Guyer's departure does not reflect on the political nature of Christ Church, it only means that Christ Church could not rely on Guyer.

  Here's something I really liked from Dale's BlogVille.  I know it represents my thoughts on the issue of local politics.

  The Unanswerable Question for Bill London
  posted on Tuesday, 08 November, 2005 12:35 PM by dmcourtn 

  I was at the NSA Disputatio when Bill London spoke to the NSA students. 

  Bill was hauling out his well-worn slogan: you all are a political organization. 

  So during the question and answer period, I got to ask a question of London: 

  "Bill, if Christ Church is a political organization with political desires to take over Moscow, why did one of our own congregants who was on the City Council (John Guyer) resign and leave to help start a church plant in another State?

  By your logic, he had one of the most coveted political positions in all of Moscow: a City Council seat. Yet  he walked away from it in order to plant a church in another State. 

  Wouldn't that tell you where our priorities actually lie: planting churches over planting politicians." 

  He hemmed and hawed but gave no answer -- for there is no answer he could give consistent with his framework. 

  But the question remains for all to see the truth of the matter.
