Thanks, Landon, for a wonderful interview. I was delighted by the thoughtful reflections you and Brian Ellison made at a couple of points. I'm particularly going to "take home" the point about Apathy being one of the energies (Perhaps it's Maundy Thursday - "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak ..."?), and the point about the Phx Affirmations countering the old assumption that "doctrine divides and mission unites." I was also delighted by some of the background you gave of the Phoenix. While I was aware of most of it, I had not known that the cycle is repeated every 500 years. What's particularly intriguing here is that many (including myself) believe that Christianity undergoes a major paradigm shift roughly ever 500 years and that we're now at one of those 500 year marks. How appropriate!- Eric Elnes
Thank you, Eric for joining us. I think that you have definitely helps us put a good faith into words.Certainly kudos to Brian for the "Apathy" addition. I, too, thought that was a great perspective.You know, I had an inkling that 500 years was important, but I couldn't articulate why. Now I know!Thank you again. Blessings on your ministry.
