Ecclesiology, TheologyI remember reading this, along with a few other provocative quotes, in February over at Inhabitatio Dei. Leave it to Stanley Hauerwas to stir the pot:
“How many of you worship in a church that recognizes ‘Mother’s Day’? I am sorry to tell you that your salvation is in doubt.”
And, before you accuse Hauerwas of being an anti-grace, works-righteousness heretic, realize that the quote needs to be taken in context. You can disagree, but I don’t think he is spouting easily dismissable heresy.
