The new President of the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA), Reverend Professor Andrew Dutney says that liberal theology is in decline.
Andrew Dutney recently spoke to Eternity on the decline of liberal theology, and an update from UCA's national assembly
"There is no question that the liberalism with which the Uniting Church and its predecessors were associated with in the past is very much in decline," Dutney told the ABC's Andrew West.
"As horizons have been broadened by the contact that different kinds of Christians are having with each other, people who might formerly have been liberal are discovering that there are other ways of reading the Bible that are not liberal. That you don't try to explain away all the difficult stuff, but you can sit with some of the paradoxes and read the Bible more directly into your own life and your own situation."
