I’m Progressive!

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you

82.
I’m progressive, too, but not as crazy progressive as GKB.
By Scott on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
And you are at Pepperdine too. Do they know you scored so low? :O
I’m running out of emoticons.

86 - progressive
Am I on the verge of getting fired? I should be more careful in what I put out here on this inter-web-thingy.

Joe, if you haven’t already been kicked to the curb then you should be fine.

The questions kinda suck, though.
I found myself answering #4 or #5 mostly because I was NOT #1 or #3…
By Scott on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
Yeah, that’s the trouble with these kinda quizzes. But it does seem to get a fairly accurate assessment of where you fall on the scale. Not you in particular but you generally.

I think I scored so low because there are so many Catholics at Pepperdine who’ve influenced me. I like church tradition. You know, from The Church, not necessarily our church.

Solidly moderate - 60

65, at the high end of the moderate scale. I think I would be more conservative, but was limited by the phrasing of the answers.

78-I’d have scored higher if it didn’t tell me why I had to think what I thought in the #5’s.
By Tracy on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
78. I thought I’d be more conservative than that.
By Scott on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
Len, it’s because you read this blog you scored so high
Shane, I find that hilarious.
And, honey, you aren’t conservative. I hate to be the one to break that to you.

Reading this blog doesn’t help! If any of my Free Will Baptist buddies find out I am in big trouble.

78, Progessive, but not Episcopalian like some of you.

83 and I’m glad I’m not employed by a church…
By Chad on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
70 for me. The description seemed about right.

I’m glad I’m not alone in the progressive camp.
By Travis on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
89… I made a B.
By Scott on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
It’s alright, Travis. God grades on the curve.

Praise the Lord for grace!

70 - I call myself a Patiently Persistent Progressive. How’s that? And I’m still in a mainstream C of C!

91…. kinda upset that I’m not as progressive as GKB. Apparently, I need to study more. I used to learn so much from him before he cowtowed to the administration and turned his controversial blog into a photo blog.
Just joking Greg.
By Krister on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
87…so close to an A. Maybe I should re-take the quiz for a higher score.
By Steve Allison on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
I scored the same as Justin at 91. I would say we are within a standard deviation of Greg. Its great to be around so many CofC progressives.
By Scott on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
It’s a groundswell, an uprising. A new restoration.
By Scott on Feb 28, 2008 | Reply
And FYI, although no one asked, I scored the same as GKB.

Can anyone beat a 93?
You call yourselves progressives.
Ha.
By Scott on Feb 29, 2008 | Reply
Shaun, it’s a fine line between being progressive and being Bishop Spong
By Phil Wilson on Feb 29, 2008 | Reply
Yeah, like the difference between a 93 and 97
By hermit greg on Feb 29, 2008 | Reply
88, but half the 5s misinterpret the point.
By Doug Freeman on Feb 29, 2008 | Reply
If you boast about being progressive what does this mean in your service to the Lord? I attend where we are extremely involved in community outreach as well as missional worldwide. I scored a 45 so it must mean I am missing the mark.
By Scott on Feb 29, 2008 | Reply
It’s a fun quiz. Let’s keep it at that for now. I didn’t read anywhere in anybody’s comments that if you scored lower than others you were missing the mark. I think that we call all acknowledge that there is room for all of us no matter where we score in the Kingdom.
By Tracy on Feb 29, 2008 | Reply
Yeah, I want my score to be lower.

A B! Not even B+! But at least I beat Joe.
By Scott on Mar 1, 2008 | Reply
But it’s a solid B.
