really liked it

A sobering yet hopeful observation of the state of the Church in the West. Sayers' thesis is based in an idea that the Church's ministry is done best when accepting that they are a "creative minority and countercultural witness", as opposed to seeking to blend in at the expense of compromised dogma or tradition. Some great insights, but a bit repetitive.

The danger when Christian second cultures communicate the gospel to post-Christian third cultures is that they themselves may be colonized - for the third culture is just as evangelistic as the second culture... it seeks to propagate its dogma that there should be no dogma.""
