So I put my own ideas into the equation and it suggests that I could be a Methodist.
This is an interesting situation, because I don't feel like one. Or at least I have not found myself having a huge amount in common with those I have met. One or two "free methodists" I have come across seem a bit more similar.
The term "Wesleyan" is a bit more specific to the man in his day and probably a bit closer to where I am.
Or am I actually a Methodist?
This post is sort of tongue in cheek, but it is interesting to see where I came out.
I am certainly no liberal or Catholic, so that sits right. I constantly get accused of being too "modernist" by emergent / postmodern friends, so to find I am still pretty postmodern raises a wry smile. "Reformed evangelical" was always going to be pretty close to the top within a newfrontiers enviornment. I am happy to be fundamentalist if that means holding on to the fundamentals of the faith, but not if it makes me a gun toting right wing american. But hey, with an "emergent / postmodern" score that high maybe I have a call to put the "fun" back into fundamentalism?!!
Neo-orthodox? He sounds like a priest off "The Matrix". It all paints an interesting picture, and am surprised that Charismatic came out so low - but the questions seemed skewed to answer either evangelical or charismatic and not to hold both, which is a bit of a stereotype, but if push comes to shove I will stick with the word although in reality I see them as interdependant not mutually exclusive positions.

Neo-othordox is a theological position characterised by the mainly German theologians who followed Barth in restating Christian orthodoxy in a post-Enlightenment way. Sadly nothing like the matrix. But good people all the same, if a little wordy and theologically opaque.
