When I think of “seeker friendly” as a label for a movement, I see one thing. And it’s a thing I’m not really a fan of.
When I see the words as simply their definition, I see it as a very good thing. Jesus was friendly to all seekers. He even healed quite a few. As were the apostles. But they didn’t put up with nonsense.
But he was not accommodating to all seekers. He never conformed to the world to obtain its allegiance.
Jesus called a pagan woman beseeching His help for her demon-possessed daughter a “dog.” He wasn’t very accommodating to the rich young ruler who wanted to follow. He culled his followers regularly with hard teaching.
What “friendliness” would you be referring to?
