I haven't read the Purposeful Plan, although I've been aware of its development. Thanks for this reflection on the PP, calling attention to its use of certain words and not others, for how it characterizes human sexuality within a divisive set, and for how agreeing and disagreeing in love can affect the church's willingness to be clear on key moral and theological discernment questions. Most of all I commend your call for costly, exhiliarating discipleship. I've been reminded again of this having just finished reading Metaxas' 2010 biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Keep writing. Blessings! Thanks, Mark. I haven’t read the Purposeful Plan, although I’ve been aware of its development.
