Is something wrong ...
Topics: Commentary... with the evangelical church? The New York Times describes a tug of war "unfolding behind the scenes over theology--should evangelicalism be a big tent open to divergent views, or a smaller movement with more pure theology?"
Jan Markell describes a few of the diverse philosophies that have entered the evangelical world:
When Richard Foster and Brennan Manning, revered by many evangelicals, never met a mystical practice they didn't endorse, today's evangelicalism has a problem.[snip]
Many evangelicals have embraced mysticism and have the audacity to call it "Christian mysticism," an oxymoron if there ever was one. Evangelical churches are now proudly announcing to all that they offer classes in "Christian Yoga" which is "just stretching" to them, but in reality, calls down Hindu gods to their Yoga mat.
Also blogging: Galatians 4:6
