Charis

We don’t condemn the people, Charis, but the teachings.

I’ve seen otherwise. Lumping mainstream christian teachers, churches, colleges, etc. by name all together with one broad “heretic” brush because one has an issue with the terminology “spiritual formation” and “contemplative prayer” is divisive IMHO and displeases the Lord.

The Samaritan woman at the well did not have the “doctrinal” t’s crossed and i’s dotted. Nevertheless, she spoke with spiritual authority greater and more powerful than any of the pharisees who would have viewed her as an immoral pagan heretic.
