a (very) generous orthodoxy

In 2007, I got an e-mail announcing presenters at the IWU celebration of scholarship. I doctored the e-mail a bit (keeping formatting consistent), and forwarded it on to a few friends. I poked fun at a popular book at the time, A Generous Orthodoxy by Brian McLaren.

At 8:40 am, wedged in between "The State of Twenty to Thirty Year Olds in the Church and the Church's Response" and "The Doctrine and Grace in the Church Father Origen" was my friend Heath:

"A (Very) Generous Orthodoxy: Making Room for Homosexual Wesleyan Suicide Bombers."

For context, A Generous Orthodoxy (Brian McLaren) was a popular book at the time. The Wesleyan Church is a conservative Evangelical denomination.

A few people actually believed it for awhile. I still laugh when I think about this.
