New movements tend to resist hard definitions, and doubly so for RN which has at its root a conditional attitude towards the understanding of things. Is this a good thing?
Yes, it’s like being in booths with boundaries of varying fuzziness. Some things are clearly in, some clearly out, with the rest in Zones of Fuzziness. In our case, RN’s boundary is very fuzzy since we are relatively new and have no rigid doctrines. As such, issues like “God language” are smack in the middle of our ZoF, and might even remain there for as long as RN remains alive and kicking. We invite people to embrace and celebrate it, because without it, movements become rigid and brittle. A healthy fuzziness also allows for beneficial alliances. Permeable boundaries allows for the absorption of new ideas and systems of thought which is necessary for maturity.
