American Church Watch: Ending Postmodern Sexual Compromises

Highlights below--in yellow--suggest our thoughts. 
Evangelicalism is the new theological liberalism of yesteryear.  Give it 25 years.  Depth of theology does not occur with the Rick Warrens and Bill Hybels.  Or, with the TBN-enthusiasts or followers of Jimmy Swaggart.  Anecdotes and "it's all about me" stories abound.  Exegetes and systematicians are in short order and short demand.  Of

Diana Butler Bass: "Can Christianity Be Saved? A Response to Ross Douthat

Diana must have her PhD in a field other than systematic theology and historical theology?  Perhaps one narrow tradition?   She's a retread from the Baptistic world (Biola, I think) onwards into the liberal TEC.  (For readers, stick to the classics.)  This op-ed by Diana is "pretty thin stuff," theologically and historically.

David Virtue, Global Internet Rips on TEC, and the Delusional GC 2012

David Virtue, the internet, websites, and blogs continue to rip the TEC effectively.  The level of self-deception and blindness in the TEC leaders continues to stagger close observers.  Oh what 10 years has brought them, a 23% decline in attendance (2000-2010) with no let-up in sight.  It's a difficult issue for older folks.  (Never mind, there aren't many youths these days.)

Did the NAACP Divorce the Black
Church?--"Claiming that `marriage equality' is a civil right, the NAACP
board voted 62-2 to back that policy. In doing so, the NAACP decisively cut
itself off from its roots in the black church."
