Do u think trying 2 "save" people by trying 2 dictate their personal lives has taken precedent becuz Xianity has become so individualistic & private an exp. matters of how our actions impact others/injustices aren't equally addressed? My last gues lol
I'm not sure I quite framed it that way, but yes that is a concern. I was just watching this PBS special "God In America" (amazing, if you can find it, do watch) where they are tracing the history of religion in America. One of the threads is how folks like Jane Hutchinson helped introduce this idea of a "personal spirituality", and how that is a completely modern, distinctly American idea. I think that's fascinating, and we see how that has in some ways made Christianity less of a public religion. That worries me, and that's probably why I lean so much towards the justice issues in my Christian ministry. Thanks for bringing that up!
