" It's not like we're winning the war with the strategies we now have."
I can buy that, no question about it. But, sincerely, I would prefer
some kind of viable renewal rather than a values collapse.
Big question, where does such a renewal come from ?
So far no-one has a good answer.
The usual approach, "if we are really, really, really sincere this time it
will all work out,"
is naive. People have been plenty sincere in the past and, while there have
been some
temporary revivals, some large, each time around this is less effective.
Some serious
and soul-searching thought needs to go into solving the problem.
My hope is for some version of E Stanley Jones' approach remade for the
21st century
as the nucleus of a solution, but beyond that there are many questions
about
what has the potential to actually work.

Ummmm,
Sounds kind of like Lenin in 1917. He hoped to see the collapse of Russian
military effectiveness in WWI so that the Bolshevik revolution would be
expedited.
He got his wish. Not sure that was such a hot idea.

I also am very concerned about the possibility of some kind of Christian

But a few years from now ?
I am very uneasy about that.
I'm hoping for it. :-) The greater the crises, the easier it will be to
peddle radical (centrist) solutions.
As I mentioned off-list, the reason I'm not engaging in political activism
this decade is that I'm busy reinventing the Christian Church!
Stay tuned....
