Alan Watts was an Episcopalian minister who took up Zen. He had ideas about God and mind that are different than the mainstream. Augustine was open minded searching for the truth. He was neo-Platonist before becoming saved. One’s position on learning differs among individuals. One need have a capacity for critical evaluation as part of learning. Having particular ideas can be a part of faith. Advocacy for open-mindedness so far as to preclude doctrine that is true can be a ploy against faith.
American issues of Christianity, cosmology, politics, ecosphere, philosophy, contemporary history etc
