The threat to the Church is those who “have fallen in love with themselves in the form of their own form of Christendom which has been handed down to them.”
I can see this in my own church and experience. When we disconnect the church experience from both the world around us, and even God, but rather live in our own comfortable traditions, we are in decline already.
Thank you for a very enlightening perspective of the actual condition of the Church. It very much apply to the present state of the evangelical lutheran Church in Denmark. I very much liked the description of the Church as Barbies Dreamhouse and the lack of spirituality as zombie like. The latter description having a humoristic touch.
Wow. That was profound.
