Thanks so much for sharing Hadden's very kind recommendation of my article, Dixie! I've set it to be available to free subscribers/readers again so folks can access it. Blessings to you at this Advent season.
I've come to really look forward to this post from you, Dixie! What a treat. And such a tidy share between Carolyn and I, haha! Thank you for this sweet post.
As for the C.S. Lewis post, I remember it and remember the kerfuffle of hurt feelings. But it was still valuable food for thought (along with the comments!) and for what it's worth... I am with you on the overall message and goal of it.
Thanks, Haley! Yes, my definitions weren't quite precise enough, I think, but I stand by the ideas nevertheless. I do actually tend toward having too many caveats in my essays and often have to be pulled back on those by editors. When one has too many caveats and is too tentative to make strong statements, that can actually eviscerate the argument, making it so contingent or contextual as to be useless in discussion.
So sometimes it's few caveats for me, and perhaps some misunderstanding from some readers may occur. But that's okay. I can only write to a readership; I can't tell how every particular person is going to take it.
