We are just different.<br /><br />What I find harder to take, is when a label is used as a means of enforcing discrimination against a person or group, just because we feel justified by our theology or outlook for doing so.<br /><br />I've recently come out as a Liberal Catholic, which I had resisted being labelled as such, as as I do hate labels, but felt that standing up for what I believe is so important and if the Cap fits, I am happy to wear it.<br /><br />Life is to short for all these differences that separate Christians being allowed to divide the Body of Christ, we need to overcome them and be one.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
