Christian America?

Is it? Was it ever? I resonate with this discussion because there is this sense among many of us that this nation is a divinely appointed nation to be a light to the world. I do not doubt that some who came over early on to this land believed this, the "wilderness experiment." What tends to follow from this is a kind of line which reads, "If we are ever going to become the greatest nation, the blessed nation, we must get back to our roots, to our Christian roots." The assumption is dangerous. And, as has been pointed out elsewhere (see Marsden et al, The Search for a Christian America and Greg Boyd's, The Myth of a Christian Nation), our nostalgia of that may be just that. So, check out the 12 minute discussion below!

Later!

Thanks for sharing that great discussion. I feel so encouraged to hear that Christians are looking more toward Matthew 25- style service and love oriented spirituality.
