Questions for Discussion
1. How would chartered pluralism promote a more unified Christian voice toward social and political issues?
2. What biblical teaching can be used to justify a Christian in supporting a chartered political pluralism? For example, should a Christian defend the rights of a Muslim or a Jehovah's Witness?
3. Should the concept of chartered pluralism be considered a political concern, approached through political avenues, or considered a theological concern, approached through the creation of new church structures?
4. Is there a limit to a Christian's support of the freedom of others? For example, should the Christian defend the right of Mormons to claim the divine inspiration of scriptures other than the Bible? Or of homosexuals to be able to marry their partners? Or of a woman to destroy her unwanted unborn child? Where is the line to be drawn between freedom and just laws?
5. Should the church mute its challenges to a fallen society for the value of pluralism, or is this the only way in which its voice can speak sufficiently clear to be heard at all?
