Stale, Outmoded Theology As a solution to shrinking church - TopicsExpress



          

Stale, Outmoded Theology As a solution to shrinking church congregations, McSwain recommends updating church theology. He states that “if the Church is to have a future in the modern world, it must re-interpret the doctrines of the faith in light of our modern understanding of the origin of the universe, the human species, including biology and developmental psychology”, suggesting Christian doctrines like original sin, salvation, and the resurrection “should be placed under the microscope of critical thinking in the context of our modern world”. Many ministers ordained online will agree this is a good starting point for churches that want to reverse their declining numbers, but others may not mind watching churches gasp their last breath. What do you think? Should traditional churches adapt, or die out?
