John 4 retold

Steve has a compelling retelling of the woman at the well.
A fairly good challenge to the evangelical church. One of the dangers we face is the tendency to pay lip service to the inclusiveness of the gospel. What I mean is, we'll say "We're all sinners in need of Jesus" with the silent caveat "but homosexuals need to stop their behavior in order to come to Jesus."
Reminds me of the Marrow Controversy.
"It is not sound and orthodox to teach that we must forsake sin in order to our coming to Christ" Auchterarder creed, 1717.
