Don't Burn the Wooden Shoes Just Yet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I'm not entirely sure I've caught the gist of David Zwart's article,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Burning the Wooden Shoes--Again!,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," a response (of sorts) to my earlier article,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "A Peculiar People."
Zwart and I can certainly agree that disentangling ethnicity from theology "is never simple." Indeed. As for the rest: I'm not quite sure if Zwart is agreeing with me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or calling me to task. It could go either way. Never one to miss the opportunity for a fight,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'll assume he's trying to disagree!
When I suggest we "need a different paradigm" that refuses "the tendency to reduce Reformed identity to mere Dutch heritage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Zwart notes that I am "working against a very long and deep tradition of equating the two." Yep, I'm aware. That was kind of the point. Moreover,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my point is that both those who defend the equation and those who decry it are working with an inadequate model. It's those who accept the elision of ethnicity and identity who are out to burn wooden shoes--either out of some weird self-loathing or out of a well-intentioned pursuit of "diversity."
I'd be the last one to advoate burning the wooden shoes! While I am arguing that we need to "sift" Dutch identity from Reformed theology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that doesn't entail any sort of rejection or critique of this Dutch heritage. To the contrary,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I think we need to recognize that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the providence of God,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these faithful people from the lowlands were "carriers" of a theological tradition and heritage that is much bigger than their ethnic enclave. The point isn't to rewrite history and pretend the "Dutch" and "Reformed" were not bound together; rather,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the point is to continue writing the history in a way that is grateful and forward-looking. And Zwart's suggestion for telling new stories is exactly right.
In fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that's what I'm trying to do: as a "Gentile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," I'm grateful for the Dutch heritage of the institutions that buoy my Reformed faith. Let's make it a light to the nations.相关的主题文章:
