A few things

First, great question being asked by Scot McKnight: "I’m not asking if you think Genesis 6–8 is mythological or historical, but whether you think the evangelical/traditional view of Scripture and its inspiration is flexible enough to handle mythic elements in the Bible?"

Second, great quote from Stan Hauerwas on the megachurch phenomenon, as compared to the Roman Catholic Church being the cultural center of activity in the medieval period: "The problem with churches like Willow Creek is not that they are the center of so many activities but that those activities do not require for their intelligibility the Mass." (p. 270, n. 11 of A Better Hope, chapter entitled, "Worship, Evangelism, Ethics.") I'm still thinking about what I think about the statement.

Three, I've been making some inroads with my neighbour. Please pray for God to continue building bridges and generating good conversations!
