Conversations concerning public expressions and involvement of the evangelical community.

Monday, July 31, 2006

The recent article on Greg Boyd (http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/disowning-conservative-politics-is/20060729195809990004?ncid=NWS00010000000001) is encouraging. Boyd is a well-known evangelical author and pastor. Perhaps his experience is a sign that evangelicals are beginning to wake up to the realities of American evangelical "success." Hopefully there will be many more to follow in his steps. Some questions church leaders must continually ask themselves as they look out over their congregations each week are: is this what Jesus intended for his church? is this the true spiritual outgrowth of the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus? is this church a revelation of God at work or is it something else entirely? what are these people actually experiencing? where does this worship experience fit in to the calling of God on these people's lives? More to come.
