Toxic Idea #1

For the summer I'm leading the Connexion study on "Toxic Ideas" - ideas/presuppositions we've swallowed, often knowingly and usually uncritically.

I'm not going to recap, but a blog I frequent has started a series on the importance of knowing some church history, so I thought I'd link to it.
