- Notes
- "Like many raised in the last gasps of Christendom, I attended schools, took part in after-school activities and absorbed media that, especially early on, reinforced much of the moral message of my family and church. This was as expected. My basic spiritual and moral formation was left to the broader culture -- with both its faults and benefits -- while the distinctive practices and beliefs of my denomination were discussed in the very brief time we spent in Sunday school". "The insistence of many Indigenous Christians that we must rediscover discipleship is born in the awareness of some of this reality. For all of us in the church, this post-Christendom reality is a call to believe, live and practice the radical love of Jesus. The calls demands a deep and vigorous commitment to a form of Christian education and formation. We are no longer propped up by the institutions of our broader culture".
