I'm going to have to think about it for a few days and get back to you. Thanks for messing up my weekend! Hope to get absorbed in building a dry-stone wall in my backyard while I listen to the football. Collingwood are back in town. Brett, you ask some good questions.

I guess there will always be the difficulty of using relative terms - so if someone is not precisely where I am I can label them either too left or right; too liberal or fundamentalist. 'One man's orthodoxy is another's heresy.' Perhaps the question your post raises is what values are we willing to give up in the name of mission? How do we gauge when we're being too open or not open enough to the views and values of 'outsiders'? Thanks for the reply and elaboration Steve.

How do we gauge when we’re being too open or not open enough to the views and values of ‘outsiders’?

Typically they came from denominations such as the United Methodist Church and the Episcopalians. Although there were individuals in others denominations (ie Baptist) who referred to themselves or their particular church as "liberal". See footnote #7, page 52 in Smith's book and the table on page 241. In his research “mainline’ and “liberal” are terms that those interviewed chose to describe themselves or their churches.
