Is Renewal Enough?
(I've been on vacation for awhile, and unable to post. It's good to be back).
Throughout Christian history there have been reform and renewal movements that have attempted to restore faith and practice as intended by Jesus. Currently, the "emerging church" movement is one excellent example. Here's a posting by one of its most prominent spokespersons, Brian McLaren, in relation to the question: "Is Renewal Enough?" It's relevant to our discussion of Jesus and the End of Religion, because we are forced to ask how radical we have to be to see the way of Jesus express itself. The question asked to McLaren and his response contribute to the discussion.
