This is an important article and it asks important questions. Unfortunately, I don't think the Holiness Partnership cares very much about doctrinal consistency as it pertains to current Manual statements. It cares about its own interpretations of sexuality, gender, scripture, and holiness.
Because those of us considered too far left on particular issues have been forced out or left voluntarily rather than endure trials, the remaining Nazarenes who consider themselves moderate will, in the eyes of the HP, become the new left. The option to have a big tent is no longer on the Nazarene table. That means the CotN is headed the way of the Amish: a winnowing down a tiny, "faithful" remnant with no flexibility.
He has also spoken at District Assemblies and other such events. If he can speak at non-fringe group events, the “other side” should also be invited to… but that won’t happen.
