Redeemer, as Tenth, may have women deaconesses. Certainly Tenth has no women deacons, and I doubt Redeemer has either since the PCA don't allow them. That's not an issue I would die over. (Women elders is a different topic though.) <br><br>Well I've read bits about Sonship but I've had no in depth encounter with it. I do know that I find Tim Keller's preaching some of the most bibliccally powerful material I've ever come across. His ability to relevantly and faithfully apply scripture most nearly matches the Puritans of anyone I know alive today.<br><br>Liberal? No way! Liberalism is a religion opposed utterly to biblical Christianity which denies the supreme authority of scripture and rejects the work of Christ to save sinners by sin-bearing on the cross. I can't see Redeemer as liberal on such a classic understanding of this term. One might not agree with what they do, but one might be better off labelling them by some other term. The PCUSA, that is liberal. (So is the local Anglican church.) Redeemer certainly is not.<br><br>ISTM you are using the term culturally rather than theologically, in the sense of innovatory rather than reactionary. Thus the Free Presbyterian Church is conservative whilst the PCA is liberal. It's still a bit of a misleading term to use in this context due to its loaded theological meaning. Perhaps we can come up with another term to more accurately reflect your concerns?<br><br>In Christ,<br><br>James.<br><br>PS In the UK I am one of the most conservative theologically in my church, and probably culturally too!
