An online discussion of Diana Butler Bass's Christianity For the Rest of Us by members of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. How do we want to be church in the 21st century? Where have we come from and where are we going, personally and collectively?

A fun diagnostic of your theological worldview
What "kind" of Christian are you? Take this to find out!
Of course, this isn't meant to be taken seriously. But I'm a sucker for these kinds of benchmark games.
Just for starters, this is "me," according to this wise test:
"You scored as Emergent/Postmodern.
"You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.
"Emergent/Postmodern 86% Roman Catholic 79% Neo orthodox 64% Classical Liberal 61% Modern Liberal 61% Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 61% Charismatic/Pentecostal 43% Reformed Evangelical 25% Fundamentalist: 0%"
Fun quiz! Here are results below. Took another quiz; according to Quiz Farm, my Disney Alter Ego is Peter Pan.
"You scored as Classical Liberal. You are a classical liberal. You are sceptical about much of the historicity of the Bible, and the most important thing Jesus has done is to set us a good moral example that we are to follow. Doctrines like the trinity and the incarnation are speculative and not really important, and in the face of science and philosophy the surest way we can be certain about God is by our inner awareness of him. Discipleship is expressed by good moral behaviour, but inward religious feeling is most important."
Classical Liberal 79% Emergent/Postmodern 75% Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 75% Modern Liberal 61% Roman Catholic 61% Charismatic/Pentecostal 57% Neo orthodox 54% Reformed Evangelical 11% Fundamentalist 0%
