Generous orthodoxy

I stumbled across Generous Orthodoxy Thinktank while perusing some links on another site. Interesting and thought provoking weblog with writings from a number of progressive evangelicals.

What caught my interest was the title. I'm familiar with the term generous orthodoxy from Brian McLaren's book of the same name, which I have not yet read but hope to get around to later this year. McLaren is referenced with approval on this site.

Here is a quote from the Generous Orthodoxy website's homepage that says it all:

My own vision of what might be propitious for our day, split as we are, not so much into denominations as into schools of thought, is that we need a kind of generous orthodoxy which would have in it an element of liberalism—a voice like the Christian Century—and an element of evangelicalism—the voice of Christianity Today. I don't know if there is a voice between those two, as a matter of fact. If there is, I would like to pursue it. (Hans Frei)
