Open evangelical
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open Evangelical refers to a particular Christian school of thought or Churchmanship, primarily in the United Kingdom (especially in the Church of England. Open evangelicals describe their position as combining traditional Evangelical emphases on the nature of scriptural authority, the teaching of the ecumenical creeds, and other traditional doctrinal teachings with an approach towards culture and other theological points of view which they regard as more flexible than that taken by other evangelicals.
Open evangelicalism is particularly represented by the Fulcrum movement in the Church of England, and prominent advocates of the open evangelical position include N T Wright (Bishop of Durham).
