That could be. But, Dan, the crying shame is that I believe that the pastors at this church are potentially capable of preaching the Gospel. But somehow—and I would really like to understand why—they thoroughly have bought into Willow Creek and have been derailed completely; and as far as I know several of them have been back east to go to the WCA leadership training and whatnot. What are they learning back there?

The thing I feel the most about all this is sort of low simmering grief; and a sense of frustration, because I have no idea what to do about any of it.

And I feel sorry for the people.

In fact, I feel sorry for the whole country, as I watch it come apart at the seams right before my eyes.

Oengus, My third post on Cerulean Sanctum back in 9/2003 was "The Oprah-ization of American Evangelicalism." Read it and weep.

Oengus,

Yep. That’s what the Willow Creek Association does to a church. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
