Debate exists over the 'seeker-friendly' church movement (SFC). Tim Keller examines the problem . . .
Proponents vilify the 'traditional church' as impotent to reach contemporary people or change contemporary culture. The best critics of the SFC movement blame the impotence of the 'traditional church' not on its lack of contemporaneity, but on its over-adaptation to modernity, on its loss of bearing in historic theology and worship.
The whole controversy is complex, but here I focus on one issue where (I think) both sides err and thus 'talk past' each other. Should the Sunday service focus on the seekers/unchurched or on believers?
