6. Evangelical outreach to postmoderns, homosexuals, and the academy itself is
hopelessly broken. We are able to offer a scathing critique of each, but unable to
engage them in meaningful dialogue let alone – it seems – win a new generation
to Christ seems beyond our grasp…till now perhaps.
Rosaria Champagne Butterfield’s recent book “Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely
Convert” will hopefully provide an impetus for change in that regard. Perhaps
her experience will help evangelical stop “dumbing down” their worship on the
one hand, and “smarten up” their ability to speak meaningfully to people on the
other hand.
This former feminist, lesbian, and contented non-follower of Jesus Christ has an
important word or two about just what she finds compelling in the Good News
of God, and what she finds more than a bit annoying in evangelical Christians
themselves. Those looking to her as an evangelical cheerleader will receive a
welcome dose of reality!
Those who thought their worship was “too traditional” or “not relevant” by certain
popular standards may be pleasantly surprised. But while classical worship may
not have to change, evangelical engagement MUST change! Fortunately the way
forward may be as simple as opening one’s home.
Consider her something like Edith Schaeffer for a new day, and you might
understand why Mrs. Butterfield is worth hearing from… She reminds of a day
when Reformed Theology was recognized for its profound ability to address the
central matters of Christian faith and culture without the appearance of strident
sectarianism.
