It was a good read, but I was disappointed with the rather blatant editing of a quote in a sidebar.

Here's what RS printed for a quote on how Christians lived in the early church:
I know it shouldn't be a surprise that the first part of the quote wasn't included, since it undermines the UPC stance on outward standards ... but because of the subject and inclusion of part of the quote, the whole quote should have been used.
It's both intellectually and journalistically dishonest to edit and include part of a quote to seem as though this ages-old epistle agrees with what's written, or in this case - the current stance of the UPC in regards to outward standards.

At the risk of tooting my own horn, I have posted this before on this forum.
Not quoting the whole piece to support an prexisting viewpoint is an example of not being honest intellectually in my opinion.
