[QUOTE="Paidiske, post: 77017678, member: 386627"] I think there are two separate (if somewhat related) issues. One is, for want of a better term, cultural identity and American-centrism. In my view that's just a product of the fact there are lots of Americans here and there's a tendency to assume American norms. The other is the breadth of Christian identity, and there I agree that a particular "flavour" dominates, perhaps by historical accident but perhaps also by some conscious decision-making. I agree with you that cultivating more breadth is likely to increase membership and participation, and it would suit both my sense of what Christianity should be, and what I value in participating here, but I guess that's really up to the powers-that-be, and what their vision for the place is. But I wouldn't necessarily assume that narrow ideology or conservative theology are only an American artefact. [/QUOTE]
