[Oe List ...] Tillich's students might join #MeToo, if any survive

[John Epps]

This is good, Jann, and thanks for posting it. It reads like a re-working
of the Donatist controversy in the early church. As quick Google reminder
said, "*Donatists *argued that Christian clergy must be faultless for their
ministry to be effective and their prayers and sacraments to be valid."

This perspective was declared a heresy and died out around 411 AD, but
still appears from time to time. Clergy and theologians, like everyone else
are forgiven sinners! As we said in the Daily Office, "We are free to live,
for we are a forgiven people." That's not an excuse for manifest mis-deeds
but a mandate to "go and sin no more."
