letter from America
Division and vision among evangelicals

I was recently in an email dialogue with a friend in ministry. He was asking me about my thoughts on division within the evangelical church in the USA. It’s a tricky topic. One person’s division is another’s valiant stand for truth.
One aspect of this challenging topic is adopting the correct analysis. It’s always perilous to postulate solutions before you have correctly identified the problem, or provide treatment before you have an accurate diagnosis. What exactly is going on? There are a number of different factors at work.
A word to those discouraged by hypocrisy & scandal
'Can you give me a reason why I shouldn’t just give up on religion altogether?'
Before the young man finished his question, I already knew the basics of what he was going to say because I hear it all the time.
