Good post, Eric. Sometimes I think some of our churches are like pre-Vatican II Catholic ones. Everybody is talking in a completely different language. Nobody but the dudes up front know what is going on.

On the other hand, a lot of evangelicalism today is so completely disconnected from history. This is one thing that I think we can learn from the emerging church. Young people today don’t just want relevance; they want historical connectedness. They want a big story to which they can tie themselves.

So, let’s not overreact, Reformed community, and act like any pursuit of relevance amounts to selling out.
