“He repeatedly emphasizes that it is not the task of the Christian to demonstrate that all other positions are false. Instead, Christians—as the church—must be a “story formed” community. How the church encounters those outside its story is left rather vague, and Hauerwas accepts that his approach leads to a “certain kind of relativism.” What makes the claim of the Christian community unique, if anything? And how is the message of the Christian community any more right than, say, the conflicting message of the Mormon community or the Muslim community? And if you try to suggest that an inner spiritual experience has validated the truth of Christ for you, a Mormon or a Muslim could equally claim authority from a spiritual experience.”

“For Schaeffer the local church should have “two orthodoxies: first, an orthodoxy of doctrine and second, an orthodoxy of community.”
