The Internet Monk wrote a three part series on the evangelical in the US this past week. Interesting thoughts; he’s in the thick of it, and has an opinion worth reading.
He got a lot of feedback.
A Canadian responded with his critique and look at evangelicalism north of the US border; and no feedback. I’m not surprised by that. His posts are also worth a look. Deathblow to Evangelicalism in North America: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

Can you fix, please?
Fixed. Thanks.
BD, why does this not surprise you?
Population, politics, culture.
Evangelicalism in Canada is far different no matter now much money groups such as Fotf pour into Canada. IMonk has been online a long time and gets serious traffic.
I enjoyed your posts.

My comment is belated , to say the least , but I am a Canadian who has lived on both sides of the 49th . There may be differences between evangelicalism in the US and Canada , but not when it comes to the subject of homosexual persons . The rhetoric is just as consistently vitriolic The actions and speech of evangelicals during the same-sex marriage debates spoke volumes about their entrenched mindset . SSM was never really the issue , to begin with.
Overriding it all was and is ; the intense opposition to ‘our’ very existence.
When faith based groups concentrate on denigrating and marginalizing an entire segment of humanity ; the consequences are tragic. I have binders full of documented incidents that exist as proof of such reality.
Yes, the salt has lost its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It can’t. I believe we’re transitioning to the time for the gospel to be returned to those who possessed it “first”… He is not sparing the unnatural branches, just as He warned us He would not, in order to graft the natural branches back in…it’s very sad on the one hand, but absolutely marvellous on the other.
