The article reminds me of the book “A Generous Orthodoxy” by Brian McLaren. The idea is a bit novel to most. Find the good in those not like us, without a simplistic relativism of belief and culture. Most tend toward bigotry (the bad in “them” is highly relevant, while the bad in “us” is tangential to who we are). Some drift to pure relativism (I’m okay, you’re okay, we all are pretty much the same aren’t we?). A few drift to exoticism (we are sooo screwed up… why can’t we be like them). But what about an openness to learn from others (both the good and bad) without relativism our faith? A rare thing.
