The coming evangelical collapse...
The Christian Science Monitor published a fascinating story today.
"Within two generations, evangelicalism will be a house deserted
of half its occupants. (Between 25 and 35 percent of Americans today
are Evangelicals.) In the "Protestant" 20th century, Evangelicals
flourished. But they will soon be living in a very secular and
religiously antagonistic 21st century.
This collapse will herald the arrival of an anti-Christian chapter
of the post-Christian West. Intolerance of Christianity will rise to
levels many of us have not believed possible in our lifetimes, and
public policy will become hostile toward evangelical Christianity,
seeing it as the opponent of the common good."
One of the charges, "...Our young people have deep beliefs about
the culture war, but do not know why they should obey scripture, the
essentials of theology, or the experience of spiritual discipline and
community. Coming generations of Christians are going to be
monumentally ignorant and unprepared for culture-wide pressures."
I"m wondering what others think of this article.
