Mainline Church

Presentation points from Rev. Adam Hamilton at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection's Leadership Institute 2006:

"Striking the Balance: Mainline Christianity." Please contact a pastor if you have any questions.

 

Bible: Both human and divine

Both grace (forgiveness of wrongdoings) and holiness (calling to live a pure life)

Both the heart and the mind

Both evangelism and social justice

Both liberal and conservative

Both valuing tradition and willing to embrace change

Both Christ as Savior of the World and sensitivity to other religions

Both science and religion

Both the sovereignty of God (ruler of cosmos) and human agency
