I recently read a post by fellow Methodist blogger Talbot Davis critiquing the pursuit of "inclusivity" in United Methodism, which he interprets to be a strategy for church growth. Davis shares that his church has achieved a large, inclusively diverse population because of the exclusivity of their doctrine. Well I wanted to raise the ante on Davis's claim. I don't think churches should have inclusivity as a goal at all; I think faithful kingdom living requires that we exist exclusively for the excluded.
