Regarding The Core's "Beliefs", you seem to steer clear of staking out any territory with regard to a number of theological issues that many/most Evangelical groups include in their confessions. Does this mean that the issues listed here are the only non-negotiables of The Core's leadership? What about theological depth? The Evangelical Church on the whole has been accused of neglecting to wrestle with significant theological issues often engaged by other Christian sects, and by the Church at large throughout history. Would you say The Core takes more of a pragmatic, "practical application" or "felt needs" approach to studying/teaching the Bible, or do you take an expository approach and dig deep into the theology of the respective authors? What evidence could you give of either?

The 'official' or 'non-negotiable' beliefs of The Core are not intended to be a forum in which to wrestle with secondary or controversial issues. If we are currently wrestling with an idea, there is no way it can serve as an 'official' belief.
Although it's not intended to be an exhaustive list (to assume we won't evolve a bit in this area would be prideful) The Core Beliefs serve as a description of the foundational and essential beliefs of historic orthodox Christianity. We are not trying to say that there is no solid truth apart from these things. To go beyond the essentials in a document such as this is to cause unnecessary divisions. And The Core strives to be a family surrendered Christ-followers from many backgrounds, working together in unity.

Sweet. That makes sense. Good sense. What about your overall approach to corporate Bible study? Does it fit either of the two descriptions i gave?
