"Unfortunately, for most Evangelicals today, their Trinity is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Bible." -- R.T. Kendall

I would add that, for most Catholics, (including Anglicans and Orthodox), their Trinity is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Church.

Christians are divided more or less into three general groups: 1) those who are catholic, liturgical, and sacramental, and who believe that the most important thing is The Church, and that salvation, truth, and blessing in this life comes through it; and they are right. 2) those who are evangelical and biblical, who believe that the most important thing is to read and know the Bible, to believe correctly, and to be born again, trusting in Jesus as Lord and Saviour; and they, too, are right. 3) those who are charismatic, and Spirit-filled, and who believe that the most important thing is to have an active, dynamic relationship with the Holy Spirit, and to be filled with his power. They, also, are exactly right.

The problem is that the three groups are enemies of each other, and spend most of their time attacking one another from their entrenched positions. You hear it all the time, in all three types of churches. Evangelicals bashing Catholics. Catholics scorning Evangelicals. Both groups sneering derisively at Charismatics. Charismatics acting like the others aren't even really Christians. "Oh, that's just emotionalism." "That's just dead religion." "Those people go to church, but they're not really saved." It goes on and on.

What I want is all three. What I say is, what would happen if all of us took seriously some of the most very basic lessons of what we say we believe, and began to practice love and humility instead of pride and judgement? What if we actually learned from each other, and shared with the others what we've got? What if we started to walk in the power and truth of all three?
