I have enjoyed Comer’s “Practicing the Way” disciplines. What I have found with him is that, like many modern day Preachers, he does in fact seemingly stay in a comfortable place theologically, as far as how the world views us. And why I think that is, because of his normal Sunday audience. He is trying not to “chase away” potential converts. He also is trying to reach a lot of practicing Buddhist’s. At one point because he was being very vague about sexuality and other high topic concerns in modern church, I thought he was going progressive. So I attended one of his Pastors conferences online and got some clarity. Doesn’t mean I don’t have concerns but it calmed some fears. I think we all tend to buck whatever system we came out of because of whatever faults they had, but it is dangerous when we throw the baby out with the bathwater.
