Catholic Baptists?!

Thanks to Mark Goodacre's NT Gateway Weblog, I today discovered Euangelion. Very, very interesting reading. "Catholic Baptists", eh?!? Wow! Maybe I've just been leading a sheltered life but that's a strikingly revolutionary concept for me. Now, yes, looked at from an Orthodox (or Roman Catholic) perspective, one could argue about the incompleteness of the proposed "seven point plan for Baptist Catholicity" ... but this is way more than I would have ever expected - especially when I remember my own childhood Baptist upbringing: ultra "free church" and anti-tradition, at least anti- any tradition related to the early/historical Church. But now, Deo gratias, another glimmer of hope in a sometimes wearyingly dark world!
