I especially appreciated Dr. McLelland’s last paragraph where he speaks about “God-centered faith.” The following quote from Margaret Isherwood’s The Root of the Matter has helped me understand that I can agree with Mclelland’s views, and still journey in faith as Presbyterian.
“There are many paths that lead to the one and same mountain. Their differences will be more apparent the lower down we are, but they vanish at the peak. Each will naturally take one that starts from the point at which he finds himself. He who goes round the mountain, looking for another (starting point) is not climbing. Never let us approach another believer to ask him to become ‘one of us’, but approach him with respect as one who is already ‘one of His’.”
