Title
Cultivating the Unity of the Spirit: A Pneumatological Case for Triage

Paul J. Morrison


Abstract

This essay argues that the task of theological triage is a work of the Holy Spirit and that the church is called to foster its unity by keeping to that task. The essay does not seek to make a distinct contribution to triage’s traditional categories; it will employ the basic descriptions of primary, secondary, and tertiary doctrines. Instead, it will aim to capture the essential truths of the argument for triage, make claims informed by those truths which need not be adopted universally, and offer practical applications which will hopefully bear fruit in any given ecclesial context.
