Prepare to be mocked. The little girl compares and contrasts her sect's worship practices with those characteristic of yours. She has to be forgiven - she is too young to be anything but innocent. Best part - knowing more about the Rev. Ted Haggard than anyone in the film does at the time. I would like your opinion of Ted's cameo - Maybe my memory is failing me, but I remember him as the one person in the film that comes across as an actual, real, full-blooded human being. I almost, but not quite, feel sorry for the guy. Watching Jesus Camp? Prepare to be mocked. The little girl compares and contrasts her sect's worship practices with those characteristic of yours.

I have the two middle books here, the Tangible Kingdom I picked up because I needed an actual text that used the language of attractional versus incarnational (there is plenty of that on the web but academic cites from the web don't fly so great at Saint Paul). I have just read bits of it. The last book has one of those titles that I like and hate at the same time. If I were drinking coffee yet this AM it would have been on my screen. But at the same time we've been putting up with the spiritual but not religious line since the 60s (at least). It has more to do with a distrust of institutional Christianity than any real way of describing "real" spirituality. It is like the liturgy word - we (evangelicals) like to say we have no liturgy and miss that every week we come together to participate in a liturgy??? I'm also looking forward to your reviews.
