Tony Jones' Curious Call For Schism
On November 27, 2013 In his post, Maybe Schism Was the Wrong Word, Tony Jones shares his conversation with Sarah Cunningham who "fundamentally disagrees" with Jones' position.
Jones recants of using the word "schism".
Jones and Cunningham obviously disagree over this issue, yet he is fellowshipping and even collaborating with her at upcoming events, which goes against the words and spirit of his original post.
I'm confused.

This is why IMO Tony Jones is so out of touch with the egalitarian movement he purports to be a part of. From my point of view his article completely missed the point. I agree with what you said. It almost sounded like this:
’let’s create a separate Church where we can pat ourselves on the back for being good progressives while failing to confront our own sexist attitudes (like for example the fact that the schism has already happened with lots of great women being at the forefront of it but we’re so self-involved and misogynistic we didn’t even notice). I call dibs on the role of white male figurehead!"
