I'd like to see a series of posts on the basics of Christianity, from different perspectives. Examples:

• What is salvation? (covered in July 2012)
• How do we understand the atonement?
• Why do we baptize the way we do?
• In what way is bread and wine (or wafers and grape juice) the body and blood of Christ?
• In what sense is the Bible the word of God?

I think if we can dig into the nuances of each perspective, we can learn from each other and gain a greater respect for other points of view.
