Coming to a labyrinth near you

A rant Mark Driscoll in response to Brian McLaren, that ends with these words::

Lastly, for the next 5-10 years you are hereby required to white 1 Peter 3:15 which says “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” out of your Bible until further notice from McLaren because the religious right forget the gentleness and respect part and the religious left forgot the answer the question part. Subsequently, a task force will be commissioned to have a conversation about all of this at a labyrinth to be named later. Once consensus is reached a finger painting will be commissioned on the Emergent web site as the official doctrinal position.

I’m left quite speechless by Driscoll’s rant, although I have wondered in the past why McLaren hasn’t tackled this tough issue as readily and graciously as he has others.

Update: The post has been edited, and some comments deleted, but the original lives on here.
