I guess Dr. King’s “Christianity” amounts to believing solely that Jesus was a nice guy and a philosopher and nothing more. He appears to believe in a rather small god.

King was apparently a Baptist who rejected Baptist doctrine solely because he would get more street cred by being a Baptist minister than being a Universalist minister.

I find it sort of odd that King (and the author of the article) seem to believe that “emergent churches” gather people not because they preach the Christian gospel but because they preach a “feel good, smiley face, watered down” version of a Be Happy, Don’t Worry Christianity.

Here’s a good insightful article about King’s socialism.

That's certainly the message I get.

A couple weeks ago we had someone on this forum (if I remembered whom I'd ping him) who insisted that King was an orthodox "born-again" Baptist and that theological liberalism hadn't yet hit the institutions where he studied in the Fifties (which is nonsense, since liberalism had been around for a long time already).
