Recently, Rachael Held Evans wrote a post for CNN entitled, "Why millennials are leaving the church" that has received a lot of attention. She raises some good issues but certainly some follow up questions would be in order. Alastair's Adversaria recently wrote a blog post that interacts with her piece and does just that. You can see his questions below and click through to read his explanations/interactions.
- What weight should we give to self-reporting?
- What about the churches that fit Evans’ wishlist?
- Do they really want a less ‘political’ Church?
- What about those occasions when we do have to choose?
- Are evangelicals really obsessed with sex?
- Do millennials want a place to wrestle with doubt, or a place to coddle scepticism?
- Why are millennials drawn to high church traditions?
- Do millennials really want an institutional Church?
- What is meant by the desire for an end to the culture wars?
- What exactly do millennials stand for?
- Are millennials prepared to call themselves and their questions into question?
- Do millennials really wish to be ‘challenged to live lives of holiness’?
