Megachurch pastor Rob Bell resigns from the pulpit

Given my extreme opposition to Bell's postmodern theology and liberalization of church ministry, my inclination is to rejoice that he is stepping down from the pulpit to focus on his book writing. The pulpit doesn't need theological cowboys like him. That said, I have no doubt that Mars Hill (Michigan) will replace him with just another carbon copy, so little will change.
 
But I must confess: Once I got past my knee-jerk judgmentalism against the man and actually considered his motives behind his resignation, let me just say that, as both a pastor and writer, well … “I understand.”
