Have you read the article in Christian Today (not Christianity Today) of 16 May 2016, 'Evangelical Christians condemn introduction of Zen Buddhism to York Minster'?
This article goes hand in glove with the New York Times article from 4 years ago, 'Can Liberal Christianity Be Saved?' (July 14, 2012).
Could we be seeing the demise of a Christianity (liberalism) that is not Christianity at all, because it has abandoned or aborted the Gospel of Christ alone for salvation? Imagine it: Christianity integrated with Zen Buddhism in a UK Anglican church.
Where else is liberalism killing off genuine Christianity? Or is it weakening the Christian graces to the point where they are seen as no more powerful than those offered by secular social services?
I'm raising this as a matter for our consideration. It was in 1923 that J Gresham Machen published, Christianity & Liberalism (available online) and that trend has continued for at least a century.
