> And what does she mean by the word "radical"? The word "radical" has many meanings, such as "a political viewpoint with origins in Western Europe during the 19th century that advocated broader voting rights than liberals, in some cases advocating outright democracy, and urging reforms in favor of the lower classes." Another possible definition of "radical" is "Marxist in approach," but surely she wouldn't be confusing Christ Church with herself. And surely she can't mean to suggest that Christ Church seeks the immediate overthrow of the social order, by violence if necessary. So just exactly what DOES this word mean?

Chris --

If laws were enacted contrary to Biblical law, should believing
Christian leaders refuse to enforce them? Would it be ethically
mandatory, if it were possible, for believing Christian leaders to
refuse duties given to them by the Constitution? Or merely to ignore
the decisions of the Supreme Court with regard to abortion,
homosexuality, et cetera?
