Innovation in the Church
Thomas Bushnell has an interesting reflection on how the New Testament church viewed radical innovations in its life (like the unheard-of and heretical inclusion of uncircumcised non-Jews in the church), and points out the contrast with how the church seems to deal with things these days. In particular, the contrast is between requiring theological justifications before any change can be countenanced and joyfully recognising the outpourings of God’s blessing on the previously excluded.
