Like j...Jerry, I really like your thoughts on this. Like j.r., I think your generous approach is much needed in the conversation. Your willingness to say you've changed your mind (is that what you said?) was refreshing, as I thought how seldom I read that on blogs. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to think about it some more, but my gut tells me that yours is the voice of reason and wisdom here. I'd also appreciate your input on my most recent post on Jeremiah.<BR/>http://www.cindybryan.com/Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015836604614281485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29875527.post-1159739919301014862006-10-01T17:58:00.000-04:002006-10-01T17:58:00.000-04:00Jerry,Hey, I want to thank you for your post. I a...Jerry,<BR/><BR/>Hey, I want to thank you for your post. I appreciate your generous approach to form and the emphasis upon function.<BR/><BR/>While I think it is important to be careful in our judgement of forms,my current understanding through study and experience would say that form is not neutral. Form in many ways starts to shape the function, expand it or limit it in different ways. For me personally, without getting into a really long post have come to some conclusions on this matter, and feel that some forms have more merit than others. While I think it is dangerous to promote just one form, I do believe certain forms develop an ethos that tends toward greater transformation.<BR/><BR/>I also would say that this is a huge issue that I constantly wrestle with and feel that people in general are developing stronger convictions about certain types of forms.<BR/><BR/>There is my short thoughts on this topic.
