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
