An Email Exchange Between
Al Maxey, Minister/Elder
Cuba Avenue Church of Christ
Alamogordo, New Mexico
and
David Martin, Pastor
Solid Rock Baptist Church
Bartlett, Tennessee
Mr. Maxey,
Hello again. I have read your response to my first e-mail.
I don't do our webpage, someone outside of our church does. If I can coordinate
with him, I'll put this exchange on the internet.
I would like to add an addendum to my first reply to you, regarding your
introduction, and some of the statements that follow in the body of your
answers. This is just a thought...
The gist that I get is that you are saying, "I'm just like you (me, the
Baptist)" in a lot of ways. It seems that you are in agreement with me
on many issues that I register opposition to in my article, and that I have
made the mistake of thinking that ALL church of Christ congregations STILL
believe the way they used to way back in the 50's because of a FEW congregations
within your circle that still do. From what you have said, MOST of the "CoC"
folks have been more enlightened in recent years and seen the errors of
the "old-time" CoC. Am I correct? If so, can I expect that you will stand
without apology against the "old-time" CoC ways and teachings that are in
error?
BTW, I am curious to know where MAX LUCADO fits into the Church of Christ
landscape? (He dots the landscape of Southern Baptist and other Christian
bookstores.)
Until next time,
