Saying goodbye to Christian America: "One day in a doctoral seminar at Union Seminary, my ethics mentor Larry Rasmussen said words I will never forget: “There are advantages and disadvantages in every power position for the church.”
The ultimate Christian social ethics issue of our time is not any particular moral issue such as abortion, war or gay rights. We argue fiercely about these issues, sure. But the ultimate Christian social ethics issue, at least in the United States, is the fact of declining Christian cultural power — and its fallout in both church and culture. This is the context within which every particular moral issue is contested."
