THE EMERGING CHURCH: 2007 TRENDS ANALYSIS—AMERICANS REFORMULATING [REPAINTING] CHRISTIANITY
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Dec 4, 2007 in Emergent Church
Nah; Americans wouldn’t be so arrogant as to reimagine Christ’s Church…would they? Christian Post informs us:
As fewer Americans identify themselves with Christianity, research indicates that those who remain Christian are redefining what “Christian” means.
Younger generations are not bound by traditional parameters of the Christian faith and instead are embracing values that are not necessarily based on biblical foundations, according to a recent analysis by The Barna Group. (Online source)
The New Downgrade in this Burger King approach to the “Christian” faith is more of the putrid fruit of the neo-liberalism of the Emergent Church and the seeker sensitive new evangelism. And I’m afraid that if someone hasn’t seen this yet, then they simply haven’t been paying attention.
