Polydox: a strange thought about doxies
(No, not the venomous magical creatures that infest old and dusty houses)
April DeConick has been pondering a term that will help her describe the way she sees the early Christian movement. If there are many different groups all self-identifying as orthodox:
That is multiple forms of Christianity that are competing for the orthodox position and/or that consider themselves to be the orthodox position.
My own vote would, on grounds of linguistic purity, go to polydox, but actually my thought went in an entirely different direction.
Isn’t orthodox and heterodox an odd opposition? Where else is “straight” the opposite of hetero? Hmm … Perhaps conservative Christians should start describing themselves as homos, as in homodox.

In sum, our Southern Baptist Identity must be rotted in the consensus fidei of the Christian Church.
I don’t normaly kriticise other peeple for there misteaks, since I make enough of my own, but I couldn’t resist this one. (I do hope Mike will leave this in.)
