Faith, Culture, and Youth
The following is a excerpt from an excellent article from one of my prof's, Dr. Adam Francisco:
Much could be said about the age in which we live. Some describe it as an age of global instability. Others view things a bit more optimistically, calling it the new era of global responsibility. Still others characterize it as the age of information. For the Church and Christianity in the West, however, one thing is pretty clear. We live in what many are now calling a post-church or post-Christian era.The influence and, in many respects, the authority the Church and classic Christian beliefs once exerted on individuals and the broader culture has dwindled to the point of insignificance. via The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod - The Lutheran Witness.Consequently, we must teach our children not only the content of our faith but how to defend the hope that is in us.
