Seven Mistakes Every Church Should Avoid
Whether you agree with any or all of the "mistakes" mentioned in this article, it is certainly worth the read and can serve as a helpful springboard for discussion on the biblical/theological/historical nature of the Church.
Why men have stopped singing in church
A fascinating discussion is unfolding at churchformen.com regarding the disappearance of singing (especially by men) in most churches with a contemporary bent. Although I consider worship to be much more holistic and diverse than what the author is focused on, the discussion there is nonetheless a worthwhile read.
The Anglican-Episcopal Divide Widens Further
NT Wright offers a honest and somewhat heavy-hearted perspective regarding The Episcopal Church (TEC) in the U.S., and their decision to further formalize their decision to appoint to all orders of ministry, persons in active same-sex relationships. This marks a clear break with the rest of the Anglican Communion.
"I Am Second"- Incredible Personal Stories
Personal testimony stories are a dime-a-dozen on the internet. YouTube and a plethora of other sites offer them. But you will NEVER find striking personal stories about life and loss and struggle and victory and faith like you will encounter at www.iamsecond.com. This is a resource site you MUST visit for yourself and then bookmark.
Charles Wesley's secret code diary cracked by priest
An Anglican priest has unlocked the 270-year-old secrets of Charles Wesley's coded diary, throwing light on the turbulent relationship that he had with his brother John in the early years of the Methodist movement they founded... The “hidden” material offers an insight into Wesley's fierce determination to prevent the Methodist societies from breaking away from the Church of England, and disagreements with his more influential older brother.

The Image of Protestant Evangelical Worship: A Word of Clarification

The images in this series have not been posted in any particular order, or with any strong "agenda" in mind. Yes, I've been aware of the likelihood that some of the images would provoke negative sentiments, but I've also been surprised that some which I thought would be viewed as positive were, in fact, viewed differently (or vice-versa). Together, they do not present a comprehensive or complete picture of protestant evangelicalism. Despite this, I think they've succeeded in stimulating some fascinating discussion. Well anyway, Thursday's post will be the final image in this series. Thanks, everyone, for having made it so interesting.

Thank you, Chris. I have loved following this series of posts - both the things that you, through posting mostly pictures and not words, have asked us to consider, and the interesting ways that everyone has responded to the images. Seems like the pictures have provoked a deeper level of passionate response than words often do (not meaning your words here on the blog, just in the abstract - I love your posts!).

I too have enjoyed this series and the comments, although, like you, I have been surprised by some of the negitive reactions to some of the images. And I don't really think that Hinn and Copeland belong under the heading of Protestant Evangelical Worship, although it is important for us to consider the influence they have on Christianity today...As for Selective Syncretism, there is a subject I can really sink my teeth into...blog on
