I mean this muliticulturalism, mutlireligion, multirace, mutlivalues "equality" type of thinking that has apparently taken over college campuses has left us without any moral foundation or absolutes whatsoever. It used to be Christianity and a specific culture, but now it is defined by chaos. That ceremony was weird. Does anybody else think so, or am I the only guy (as usual) who thinks it was.
I agree. They should have done a respectful secular service.
Christianity has to stay relevant and contemporary for it to survive in the western world.
In third world countries the story of Jesus and his suffering is relevant to every day living. People in those countries can relate to the stories of the Bible and thus you find Christianity growing there.
You have to make the distinction between what is good for Christian values and what is for the good of christianity.......multiculturalism, i.e, respect for other cultures and viewpoints is a Christian value.
What is best for the promotion of Christianity is a different question. Ecumenism is one approach to unify the denominations for the greater good of christianity. However, Christianity is split over political lines into conservative and liberal camps and most ecumenical efforts are to reconcile differences between denominations.
I go to a liberal Christian church. After service Muslims show up in the reception area to promote their cultural food and drink........like we at church are somehow out of it and need an education on Turkish ways.......this is supposed to be enlightening on some level?
Do you think Christians would go into a mosque every week to share the secrets of square dancing with samples of American meatloaf?
Why is it that only Christians are narrow minded and in need of enlightenment?
