On being called bad names

I see that the Diocese is being labelled again, this time by being called ‘Puritan’. We are already the recipients of a number of insulting names and descriptions, including ‘fundamentalist’, ‘right-wing’, ‘conservative’, ‘evangelical’, ‘anti-women’ and ‘anti-gay’. This name-calling is unpleasant and unfair. It is often meant to cut off argument and to create disdain or even disgust. It is not a new phenomenon, of course, and it is important not to be too upset by it. In fact, one useful antidote is to be well-informed on the issues and historically well informed as well.
