LIKE YOUR FAITH DEPENDS ON IT...IT IS ABOUT HOW AND WHY CLAIMS OF NO RELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONS HAS RISEN IN AMERICA IN THEPAST 5 YRS FROM 15% TO 20% WHICH PEW RESEARCHERS CALL THE TREND "NONES ON THE RISE"...DUE TO WHAT SEEMS TO BE A CIVIL WAR AMONG CATHOLICS, CHRISTIANS AND EVANGELICAL PROTESTANTS... RATHER THENSOFTENING THE GOSPEL MWSSAGE TO MAKE IT MORE MARKETABLE, SOME CHRISTIAN LEADERS ARGUE OR A DOUBLE- DOWN STRATEGY...
WHILE THERE'S NO DOUBT THE IDEA OF NEWLY AGGRESSIVE EVANGELIZING IS DRIVING THE DISCUSSION IN TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS INSTUTITIIONS, WHEATHER THE AMERICA OF THE EARLY 21ST CENTRUY WILL RESPOND IS ANOTHER QUESTION....
WITH TYPICAL PUNGENCY, G.K. CHESTERTON ONCE SAID THAT, " THE CHRISTIAN IDEAL HAS NOT BEEN TRIED AND FOUND WANTING; IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT AND LEFT UNTRIES". PUTTING TRADITIONAL CHRISTIANITY BACK INTO THE CLINICAL TRIAL IN THE CULTURE I S PRECISELY WHAT THE NEW EVANGELIST ARE SEEKING TO DO. (SMILE)
