Surprisingly accurate. I agree almost 100% with the description. Only thing different is that I think the "modern" (as opposed to postmodern) church is the one that does not connect to today’s culture. I see many in our culture connecting with older models like Episcopalian (spelling??), Anglican and even Catholic, because they are heavy on icons, stress spirituality over theology and draw in the individual through their constant observances of church ordinances such as the Eucharist and liturgical readings. But the rest is all me. HT: Reflections over at Voxtropolis.
You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.
What’s your theological worldview? |
