The Progressive Abomination of Inclusivity

Counterfeit Love and Deceptive Ambiguity

I recently wrote an article in which I compared the introduction of blessings for same-sex couples in the Church with the imagined introduction of blessings for open racism. Needless to say, it caused no small offence among progressives and winsome evangelicals. The offence caused is not only understandable; it was the entire point.

To understand what has been imposed upon the conservative in such cases, the progressive needs to know what it might feel like to be told they must accept – and ideally, celebrate – something they know to be heinously offensive to their Christian beliefs. Whilst there are certainly many conservatives who show little empathy for why a progressive may believe what they believe, the progressive’s lack of empathy for the conservative is especially jarring given the party policy of tolerance, love, and inclusivity.
