Faiz misspoke

I'm a bit startled by Andrew Faiz's January column, Jesus Good. I thought I should clarify some points.
I think it is misleading to suggest that my book The End of Religion offers a message that “isn't that far” from that of Hitchens or Spong. I see both of them, in different ways, throwing the baby (of the biblical/historical Jesus) out with the dirty water (of religious failure). My book targets the same people who might pick up a book by Hitchens or Spong, but with the hope of rekindling their interest in the Jesus of Scripture.Our job as Christ-followers is to continually submit our personal lives and our corporate lives to the Lordship of Jesus — something that will include submitting even our current structures and traditions to Scriptural teaching.
And Faiz misspoke to say that The Meeting House, where I am the teaching pastor, is “non-denominational.” The Meeting House is an evangelistic church-plant of the Brethren In Christ and we continue to be very grateful to have their support, blessing and accountability.
