Here was Rich Mouw, my evangelical soundbite provider of preference:
“The presumption of a Protestant framework for understanding the American character is now a thing of the past,” said Richard J. Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena.
“We are an increasingly pluralistic society, and we Protestants now have to think much about how we can contribute to the common good as simply just one more voice in the American choir.”
Apparently, despite all the growing affection of evangelicals and postmods for smells’n’bells, the Roman Catholic church lost more adherents than any other group. But, not to worry, immigration may make up some losses there. What is it they say – illegal immigrants are willing to perform the liturgies that other Americans are unwilling to do?
A Day without a Catholic. It was an eye opener. Chilling.
You are funny.
