How does this relate to Orthodox-Protestant dialogue?
Earlier this year, Ware lectured at North Park University and Wheaton College about what evangelicals could learn from the Orthodox and what the Orthodox could learn from evangelicals. Christianity Today editor in chief David Neff interviewed him during that visit.
The breath of Thine Holy Spirit inspires artists, poets and scientists. The power of Thy supreme knowledge makes them prophets and interpreters of Thy laws, who reveal the depths of Thy creative wisdom. Their works speak unwittingly of Thee. How great art Thou in Thy creation! How great art Thou in man!
It's not sheep stealing if they truly think Orthodoxy is false and vice versa, is it?
Well, it wouldn't be sheep-stealing in the eyes of those who see Orthodox as non-Christians
QuoteWell, it wouldn't be sheep-stealing in the eyes of those who see Orthodox as non-ChristiansI did missionary work in Eastern Europe when I was a Baptist missionary (Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Russia) and I can tell you that most fundemental baptists (and other permutations of Protestant fundamentalism) think the Orthodox and Catholics and pretty much anyone else who do not use the "Sinner's Prayer" for salvation are not christians. We were trained that they were works for salvation only.So bishop Ware talking about Protestant sheep stealing is very accurate, because I took part in it.primuspilus
