When I first read your post, I thought it was Stephen Strang that was being spoken of, but it was his son Cameron, the publisher of the emergent-leaning Relevant magazine.

This is so sad--he respects Miller immensely? Our young Christians are really going down the wrong road IMO.
Agreed - I added Cameron's name to the post title to avoid confusion...
ReplyDeletethanks Diane!
Thanks Eric. When I went back to your blog today I saw the title and thoguht, "Wow, I must be losing it as I didn't see Cameron's name the first time around." And at my age that isn't funny...LOL. Now I know I didn't "lose it."..:)
