The Uberbishop (NT Wright) answers: in order to break free of outmoded Lutheran and Baptist categories, the chicken broke through the boundaries markers of chickendom and so long as the chicken is faithful to stay on that side of the road, he can have table fellowship with all forms of animals.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
