Ed, I'd be interested in hearing how/why you think such marriages require more caution and wisdom than other marriages.I do think that caution and wisdom must be used before entering a cross-culture and/or cross-ethnic marriage.

We live in an age where marriages, even Christian marriages are continually under assault. Marriages face enough challenges without adding cross-cultural and cross-ethnic hurdles to overcome. Those cultural and ethnic hurdles can be a lot greater then you might anticipate. My wife was born a Brahman caste Nepali in Myanmar. I am a Swabian Deutscher from Michigan. So I know where of I speak.Ed, I'd be interested in hearing how/why you think such marriages require more caution and wisdom than other marriages.

I was literally one of the first people to come across kinism many, many years ago. I've seen people attack them (and sometimes lose). Here is my advice:
1. Unless the integrity of your church is at stake, ignore them. They are popular only when they have an opponent. Several kinists have told me that kinism has more or less run out of gas as a movement. Don't give it more gas.
2. Try not to frame your arguments around the pro-Hillary, borderline anti-white message that occasionally comes forth from some Gospel Coalition writers.
I don't visit the site often because about half the stuff there irritates me. About half the stuff there is good.You actually go the Gospel Coalition website? The only time I do is when someone links there.

Look closely at my avatar and you'll see I don't need to "anticipate" cross-cultural and ethnic marriage! My wife is Tamil, born in Malaysia and I am not just an American, but a Southerner to boot! (We joke that her roots are from "South" India, so that is why we get along!)Those cultural and ethnic hurdles can be a lot greater then you might anticipate.
