The Role of the Church in a Changing Society
Butterfield discusses the dangers of the church adopting secular vocabulary and ideals, which she believes leads to theological compromise. She illustrates this with the case of teacher Peter Vlaming, who was fired for not adhering to pronoun laws, reflecting how deeply normalized and enforced these ideologies have become. 'A word can be exchanged for synonyms, but a keyword is implemented with religious exactitude,' she notes, emphasizing the importance of maintaining biblical language and concepts.
