I came across a good description of what I think our congregation and church tradition should emphasize and offer others. No surprise, but someone said it really well, long ago. E. A. Reardon was a campmeeting speaker in 1929 where he said that the challenge facing the Church of God "was to speak with a clear and distinctive voice without allowing distinctiveness to become a preoccupation" (Strege, I Saw the Church, 193).
We must seek Christ and speak the truth as we understand it, but we must not make having an exclusive understanding of the truth our idol.
