One philosophy can't help but disagree and diminish others. The other affirms and seeks "higher ground," as Jim Wallis put it. Thanks, Brian for helping us understand the difference--and living it.

Melvin,

Thanks for the excellent interview.

I found Everything Must Change to be a foundation shaker. I think that's what Brian intended and it is why it disturbs us. In my mind, the act of changing our framing stories is synonymous with truly living as part of an alternative community. Our foundation is shaken and we are disturbed because we are so conformed to this world. Our consumer culture, our market economics, our patriotism, and our security are what we too firmly pledge allegiance to. We are very disturbed when someone clearly points out that our allegiance (framing stories) bear little resemblance to the Kingdom of God.

Thanks to Brian McLaren for stirring us up.

Blessings,
Brian Houghtaling
