I did this quiz today (as if I have nothing better to do) which featured on the site of Harry Steele.
Though I have subsequently discovered that it was featured on Paul Roberts blog in 2005. Hey ho. Better late than never...I have at last discovered who I am!
Anyway, it seems I am a bit postmodern! (all 86% of me is - though what the other 14% of me is doing I don't know - that in itself is a very important postmodern question). Going to have to do a bit more work on finding out about my Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan side (quite significant side of me actually). Bit of a relief not to be a fundamentalist at all.
They say:
You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.
Emergent/Postmodern 86%
Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 71%
Neo orthodox 68%
Classical Liberal 64%
Roman Catholic 61%
Modern Liberal 43%
Charismatic/Pentecostal 39%
Reformed Evangelical 29%
Fundamentalist 0

The frame of the questions seems in many ways badly suited for putting some of the nuances and modes of expression I would prefer; a friend of mine is currently working on a paper about the ethical implications of the power in ontological commitment that such web forms lead to (although his primary example is dating sites!)
p.s. It turms out that I am 3 % more neo-orthodox than I am emergent - for some reason it thinks I'm influenced by Barth
Who's Barth or is it the southern form of Bath? Also who is Bishop Spong... You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology.

Quite fun in a strange way and heartning that I'm not a fundy... Not sure what Neo Orthodox means...
