Hey Jeremy, you're making me feel a bit homesick! Love it!! 🤩😊 About 10 years ago some people thought we should stop using the word Christian too, but I think that's been replaced with "Spiritual". What about Gnostic/Gnosticism? That one gets thrown around a lot these days, and I'm hearing it being used from within very different Christian tribes. What does that even mean anymore? I'm still associating "conservative" with my traditional Christian values. I hate that it feels like we need to carry a dictionary around in order to direct our thoughts back to what a word should mean which then brings up the question of- which dictionary should I carry with me- the old one or the urban one? It seems like we can't even have simple discussions without fleshing out what we all mean by what we said.

P.S. If the book you (John) referred to toward the end of the chat is out of print, The Synod of Jerusalem and the Confession of Dositheus, A.D. 1672 spells things out pretty clearly and can be found on the interwebs- Biblehub has a synopsis.
