There are reasons why Religious Right Evangelicals will continue to dominate religious discourse, not only in their own sector of the Christian community, but also in what transpires in mainline denominations.

The imminent demise of the church has been predicted since the middle of the 18th century. This is the regular secular mantra if churchgoing declines. I could take you to plenty of churches that are full to bursting and new churches being built.

While attendance at traditional churches has been declining for decades... the evangelical movement is growing, and it is changing the way America worships.

The evangelical movement has become just a bit victimized by a success-oriented culture, wanting the church - like the corporation - to be successful.

While life lasts, I am an evangelist.

Our theology is still in a time of crisis, and I think this will last for some years more.

In America, evangelical churches have often been bastions of conservatism, providing support for the status quo.

If you'd have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn't know what you were talking about. And then, they'd be against it.

Evangelicalism as a movement is rushing headlong toward theological ambiguity, which is another way of saying apostasy.

No one can fail to see that the power of the Church among large numbers in many communities is today diminishing, or has already ceased.
