Yes, it is. It shows the great advantage of modernity. Bishops can't make leaders agree with them and vice versa Very modern They didn't succeed in the middle ages either, they just tried harder. The middle ages was full of Popes VS Emperors, remember? The middle ages gets a bum rap from historians. Our western modernity is very much a child of the of the middle ages, as well as later periods.

Yes, it is. It shows the great advantage of modernity. Bishops can't make leaders agree with them and vice versa Very modern. I agree, in general, with that comment. It's not modernity, though, but the principle of individual interpretation of scripture that is the difference. The Bishop clearly speaks of the theology of the leadership of the Methodist Church and out of that tradition. Bush speaks, well, I'm not certain out of which tradition. Some have said an evangelical tradition. Perhaps.
