Hi, I think that coming up with an objective criteria of who a Renewal theologian is, is a great idea. First, I think that a Renewal Theologian should have a Masters degree or higher (in order to be considered a theologian). Second, I think that a Renewal Theologian should be actively involved in some public renewal effort. I don't think popularity should be a requirement, it is too subjective. I am open to discussing objective criteria to determine who qualifies. But its not like we are overflowing in candidates. I would prefer to be inclusive rather than exclude any adequate candidate. Would enjoy your feedback. Nelson505 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nelson505 (talk • contribs) 21:45, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

I really appreciate the dialog. I think you are absolutely right. I think Bible teachers should be eliminated. It would clear up a lot of confusion. Anybody who teaches could be considered a Bible teacher. Maybe that need to be an article all its own. I am not sure scholar is much better than theologian. Maybe we could require them to be published authors on a theological topic or something. Just an idea. Maybe "published scholars with post graduate degrees" might be the way to go.
