Comeback for Liberal Theology?

Gene Edward Veith at Cranach:

....I'm seeing ... a convergence between some "evangelicals" and "liberals." As more and more evangelicals adopt liberal theological practices - such as downplaying doctrine, rejecting traditionalism, and revising Christianity to accord with contemporary culture - liberals are finding they can adopt evangelical tactics and language.

Many liberal denominations are now implementing church growth strategies and building megachurches. And they are especially equipped to do so. They also have their small groups and Bible studies. True, they often focus on social justice themes, which the Democrats are playing up to, but Mrs. Clinton's Methodists can also have "prayer warriors."

Mainline liberal Protestantism is my background. I remember how some of the sermons I would hear would consist of the pastor trying to apply the latest pop psychology fad so as to give his congregation the psychological counseling he thought we needed. I have since heard this kind of thing coming from a supposedly evangelical pulpit.

Whether the liberal churches stage a comeback or ostensibly evangelical churches go liberal, liberal theology (with its social gospel, anti-supernaturalism, and cultural conformity) is again a force to contend with.
