What happened to the churches in America? Most of them rejected all-things-supernatural ("modernism") a hundred years ago, and taught something like this instead: > A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross. -- H. Richard Niebuhr, _The Kingdom of God in America_ Some rejected modernism (the "fundamentalists") only to over-correct into anti-intellectualism and anti-formalism. A [precious few denominations]( navigated between this Scylla and Charybdis, and stayed true to 'the faith once delinered.' This is a gross oversimplification...but it ain't wrong.
