John Frame vs. Brian McLaren

Just for my own reference purposes, here's John Frame on Brian McLaren's Generous Orthodoxy. Here's a nice snippet:

And I have argued, like McLaren (105-114), for a missional concept of the church: the Great Commission of Matt. 28:18-20 is the fundamental task of the church, so that everything the church does, including worship, ought to have an outward-facing aspect.

It has always seemed to me that the church (including its theology) tends to be healthiest when mission is in the forefront, least healthy when it is preoccupied with its own history and trying hard to prove itself right in controversies with other Christians.

To which I add a hearty, Amen! I'd encourage you to read the whole thing. Regardless of what you think about the content of his critique, Frame's tone sets a fine example for others to emulate.
