Really, since Patheos is in the midst of an absolutely huge Future of Evangelicalism week, I must put up a little good-natured resistance.
Helllloooooo Evangelicals!
August 2, 2010 By
You put up with the Catholics and with the Mainline Protestants, but now, helllooooooo Evangelicals: It’s the week you’ve been waiting for over at Patheos, where Tim Dalrymple and others have compiled one huge forum on the Future of Evangelicalism! It’s what Katie Couric would call gi-normous!. You’ve got a month’s worth of reading there, [...]

July 30, 2010 By
In discussing the Future of Catholicism at Patheos, one essay in particular, Barbara Nicolosi’s vent-acular rant on the influence of the Baby Boomers on art and culture, stood out; Save the Boomers, Save the World was the most-read piece of the week.

A new cycle of mission, persecution, [...]
