Kirk,

I agree that these terms are relative (and only in this way would I 
ever call myself 'moderate.')  I consider myself very conventional, 
traditional and conservative. 

Actually, I'm not sure that we should 
polarise on moderate/conservative sides.  I believe even this kind of 
superficial factioning can weaken the infrastructure of the Church.  
The obvious conjunction between such labels as 'moderate', 
'conservative' and [the unmentioned] 'liberal' is *versus*.

While there may exist some degree of variance between many or most of 
us, we should be united in the cause of advancing Apostolic doctrine 
and building the Kingdom of Christ.

All Honour to Christ Jesus.
