Re: Davey and Goliath to the rescue
Thye article suggests that the classic animated series might help to breathe new life into the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA):
I'm skeptical. "[W]hat is needed to turn around a mainline Protestant denomination in decline" is orthodoxy.
Re: Davey and Goliath to the rescue
Thye article suggests that the classic animated series might help to breathe new life into the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA):
- "There are lots of theories about what is needed to turn around a mainline Protestant denomination in decline, but few have ever thought the answer might be a clueless animated boy and his canine conscience. For the 5-million strong Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, whose membership is aging, Davey and Goliath may be the route to salvation."
I'm skeptical. "[W]hat is needed to turn around a mainline Protestant denomination in decline" is orthodoxy.
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
