Not Of It: Urban Churches - "We're On a Mission From God" SoJourn Houston's Story
"...church leaders around the country should be doing everything they can to reconnect the social bonds of our communities."
Christian churches and ecclesial communities should do what they can to mitigate the disintegration of community, but what is their priority? Being a social club or witnessing to God? If they give a faithful witness to God, loving Him and their fellow Christians, the building up of community through evangelization and conversion will follow. But a watered-down Christianity in the form of liberal Protestantism? It has no staying power. As for developing friendships with non-Christians - there must be some sort of common moral ground first.
