Proof that the Christian community is alienated (and alienating) the world at-large, #4,569:

A quote from today's Dallas Morning News Religion section (you may have to submit a login to get to it): "Stanley Grenz, a Baptist theologian and professor at Regent College in Vancouver, British Columbia, said even fundamentalists should embrace the new evangelism because it's more in keeping with biblical teachings, not because it's a new technique for success.
"It represents a deepening of the theological understanding of what it means to be an evangelical people," he said. "It means people are so keen to follow Jesus that it permeates all their relationships and that God comes to be glorified in all their relationships."

The very reality of the fact that even a mainstream newspaper in a milquetoast religion section talks about how the world has become wise to our awful "techniques" in telling the world about Christ should remind us all that it's about winning souls through love and truth. Not through techniques or debates.

As a tribe, we've GOT to get our acts together...
