After watching Jesus Camp, my wife asked me what I would label myself now that we were quite sure we were neither liberals nor evangelicals.  It is hard to define oneself when you are think of yourself as a Christian first, and all other things secondary.  My answer, in the style of Brian McLaren, was an answer that espoused the hope of my heart, the breathe of the Spirit inside me, and the fanciful ramblings of my mind:

A Christian who is theologically Trinitarian, post-conservative, post-structural, Ancient-Future, liturgically oriented, and missional, practices his Christianity in a liturgical way through daily office, reading Scripture, and a Lutheran view of vocation, and finds the socio-political significance of the Gospel in agrarianism, environmentalism, eucatastrophe, (rational) pacifism, community-centric living, and a bent toward hippie/organic/eco-centric living.

When labels follow the center, they are often longer and more powerful than labels that supersede the center and dwarf it.  Questions arise from this:  how much of a Christian are you when you define yourself as a born-again, Bible-thumping, fundamentalist, old-time religion, pre-tribulation, pre-millenial Christian?  Aren't you a Bible thumping, eschatological nut who happens to be a Christian?  Vice versa, those who define themselves as feminist, post-modern, socially just, pacifist Christians accomplishes the same goal, mainly to justify a social, political, and cultural leaning with a religious background.

Labels, when they are the beginning and not the afterthought, place one inside a box that is rigid and stifling.  I have found out how free the liberty of Christ is when I define myself as a Christ-seeker first, and let my ''labels'' become characteristics of a life revolving around the breathe of the Spirit and the Word which is Christ.  Rejecting the culturally defining labels of my past has enabled me as a person to understand the deep mysteries of faith and of reason.  I don't step on the toes of the party line anymore because I don't believe in parties within the Body of Christ.  Now I feel that fundamentalists, liberals, conservatives, evangelicals, mainliners, Catholics, and Orthodox would all understand me as a bit of an odd-ball, a pacifist who owns a gun and would hunt with it, a liturgist who worships far more with charismatic and evangelical people than with liturgical brethren, and as one who sees Catholics, Orthodox, Protestant, fundamental, pentacostal and evangelical as part of the Body, whether they others accept them or not. 

Labels accomplish nothing.  Christ(ianity) accomplishes something: it builds the kingdom of God and accomplishes the ultimate desire of God through the work and act of the Christ and His Spirit.  And that is the only label I will live and die with.
