Running away from our shadow: racism in America

Last updated on: August 5, 2015 at 2:06 pm By Mission:Work

By Mike Coyner Last week while visiting my daughter and family for the birth of our latest grandchild, Alec Adrian Peace, my almost 5-year-old grandson Austin and I were playing “shadow tag” outdoors. Then Austin changed the game and started doing what he called “running away from my shadow” – which is something from a video game he had seen. Of course the whole point of the game is that we cannot run away from our shadow – it is... Read more

Business as moral community

Last updated on: July 29, 2015 at 6:01 pm By Made to Flourish

Integrating faith with the demands of work is a challenge many Christians face. Two men with a lot of insight on faith, business ethics, integrity, and leadership recently sat down to discuss this challenge: Al Erisman of Seattle Pacific University and Bill Pollard, retired CEO of ServiceMaster and professor emeritus at Wheaton College. They recorded a video conversation about the God-honoring business model, thoughts on Peter Drucker, and the struggles of godly leaders in corporate management. Read more

The Fragmentation of Evangelicalism

Last updated on: July 24, 2015 at 5:03 pm By Guest Contributor

Editors’ Note: This article is part of the Patheos Public Square on the Future of Evangelicalism in America. Read other perspectives here. By John Hawthorne In their seminal 2010 book, American Grace, Robert Putnam and David Campbell describe the story of American religion since the 1950s as an earthquake with two aftershocks. The earthquake, they suggest, was the sexual revolution of the 1960s. This concern over sexuality led to the first aftershock, the rise of publicly organized Evangelicalism. From the founding of Falwell’s Moral Majority... Read more

Neither Falwell nor Benedict, But a New Creation

Editors’ Note: This article is part of the Patheos Public Square on the Future of Evangelicalism in America. Read other perspectives here. This is yet another article claiming that we stand at a unique crossroads, and now face choices unlike those in the recent past. Here are my six predictions for evangelicalism in America in the next five years: 1. Evangelicals will lose little ground as a percentage of the American population. Proclamations of significant evangelical decline often seize on headlines (“Christians Decline Sharply,” Pew,... Read more

Young, Restless, and Immediate: The Future of Evangelicalism

Last updated on: July 24, 2015 at 6:23 pm By Chris Armstrong

Editors’ Note: This article is part of the Patheos Public Square on the Future of Evangelicalism in America. Read other perspectives here. Historian David Bebbington famously defines evangelicalism as Biblicist, crucicentrist, conversionist, and activist. But to limit our understanding of evangelicalism to its fondness for the Bible, focus on the cross, call to conversion, and impulse to reform church and society is to miss an essential experiential commitment and a key demographic fact. The experiential dimension we may call immediatism. This is the expectation that... Read more

This is not the first evangelical crossroads

Last updated on: July 24, 2015 at 6:28 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Editors’ Note: This article is part of the Patheos Public Square on the Future of Evangelicalism in America. Read other perspectives here. A long time ago, as a precocious United Methodist teenager, I went to college. It was a Christian college in the “historically denominational but now in many ways secular” mold, not the “small evangelical school with a behavior covenant” mold. My mother, who had helped me choose this school in preference to the small-evangelical-with-a-behavior-covenant school she had attended, was still worried enough about... Read more

Facing Facts About the Future of the Church in America

Last updated on: July 24, 2015 at 6:29 pm By Guest Contributor

Editors’ Note: This article is part of the Patheos Public Square on the Future of Evangelicalism in America. Read other perspectives here. By Neil Carlson If the church is to survive and thrive in the United States, we have got to face facts. “Facing facts” here does not involve a gloomy recap of survey data showing increasing rates of religious “nones” without any church affiliation, especially among the Millennial generation born since 1981. Such gloom is common enough: identify the problem (declining numbers), diagnose the... Read more
