I found this piece by Margaret Hebblethwaite over at Cif interesting. She wonders whether current evangelicalism is Christianity for the TV age, that the performance matters, that we consume the product. Here are some thought-provoking comments.

“Evangelical Christianity has already opened wide its arms and its heart. I just hope that it will also open wide its mind.”

and

“The sense that you have been present at an event where something transformative has happened – not in this case the transformation of bread and wine, but the action of the Spirit – “now” – “wow!” – in a huge crowd of people of which you have been privileged to be a part.”

Is there more substance to it than the ‘now and wow’? I hope so.
