Updating earlier post:
An interesting column and hopeful in that, as they grow older, some young evangelicals are looking for more substance that they have gotten in their particular churches. I find it also is worth noting that missing are the Protestant churches that are going increasingly secular, and I see a distinction between choosing the Anglican and Episcopal churches over the secularizing Episcopal and other old-line Protestant denominations.
I will take issue with the author’s gratuitous attack on Catholicism and conservative Anglicanism in his statement: “It is to say that children raised in spiritually substantive and faithful homes usually find things like holy water, pilgrimages, popes and ash on their faces an affront to the means for spiritual growth that God has appointed in His Word.”
And as Clemenza & Publicus both pointed out it is the growing secularization and atheism of the world is what all of us who follow Christ are in a struggle with, as well as the forces of Satan.
I think the largest trend isn’t from evangelical churches to orthodox churches, but from liberal churches to nothing.
