"Why are we so afraid actually to “reach” out with an invitation to have lunch with folks with whom we disagree? Or maybe it is not so much that we are afraid, but that we don’t even think about the need to do that kind of thing. Why not?"I agree with Dr. Mouw and I would ask him out for lunch in spite of that (*smiles*)...it is definitely the Baptist thing to do, but something that we as Baptists seem to have lost in our heritage.
There is something about fresh-outa-the-oven chocolate chip cookies that can turn the sourest of conversations into something extraordinarily pleasant. Of course, good Baptists can argue over whose recipe is better/best while inhaling said cookies at an alarming rate. We are an amazing lot, aren't we? Pass the milk, please?
