I read your LJ from time to time because you're on my friendsfriends view. I often hear you say that you want liberal Christians to stand up and resist fundamentalist, Dominionist versions of Christianity, to demonstrate that there is more to the religion than obsessing about certain passages in the Scriptures that seem to pertain to same-sex relations. My question to you is: How shall we do this? That is, how can the average lay Christian, someone who is not a priest/minister, not a religious educator, not a vestry member, resist fundamentalist definitions of their religion? Obviously, if someone in one's social circle--family, friend, coworker--happens to be a fundamentalist, one can respond to that instead of "politely" ignoring it. But what if no one in one's social circle is spewing hatred? What do you want liberal Christian to do to show that they are on the side of love and compassion and justice?
