"I have, however, come to a startling realization that the biggest factor in driving young ministers into the progressive movement . . . . may be a more 'lunatic fringe' of the fundamentalist movement. In recent years, the caricature of fundamentalism, which is not fundamentalism at all, has sought to define us. And to some degree, more balanced fundamentalists have stood by and watched it happen without saying a word. We have watched as preachers screamed about women wearing britches when they could not keep their britches up. . . . We have passively listened as preachers hollered for the King James Bible, but refused to use it to form their sermons or govern their lives."
