Graham,
Did Henry Martyn believe in the the uniqueness of Christ and that his blood alone atones for our sin? Was the wellspring of his passion to bring the gospel to the heathen the same vision of their lost eternity which inspired C T Studd? Do those who claim to follow him share this vision? What would he think of the work now done in his name?

Adrian-- I was recently flabbergasted to be told, by several who would know, that the Unitarian-Universalists around Boston are mostly "Jesus is Lord!" Universalists at the core, and that their "liberalism" consisted mainly in suspicion of the anti-gnostic strain of the orthodox tradition, which is ...
Adrian-- In discussions where liberal religion is important yet underrepresented, your personal perspective and the journey that led to it are interesting in their own right.
