First and second order issues

Dear friends Welcome back to a new year of Two Ways News. Tony is not quite back yet—he’ll be with us on next week’s episode—but in the meantime I hope you enjoy this conversation with Talar about ‘first order’ and ‘second order’ issues in ministry. It’s a common way of talking about things we disagree about in ministry or in the Christian life—that there are ‘first order’ questions of prime importance that we must resolve and be unified about, and then there are ‘second order’ issues that we can afford to put to one side and agree to disagree about. But is that the best way to think about the various issues we have conflict or disagreement about? That’s what my conversation with Talar is about this week. I hope you find it encouraging.
