In an an evangelical subculture that gets its ire up more over cussing than torture, Hoekendjik has some wisdom:
Christian virtues that are present [in the church] are minimized, while while the kind of “church virtues” that Dorothy Sayers once described as a combination of stateliness, childishness, shyness, dullness, sentimentality, daintiness, and depressedness are enlarged into colossal proportions. What would anyone have to do with that?
Why is there never approbation for evangelicalism and just criticism?
That’s an overdramatic comment, JBH. Obviously there is a large portion of the US population that finds much to praise about evangelicalism.
Because evangelicalism is stupid, duhhhhhh.
As the old song goes, ‘you always hurt, the one you love…’
those virtues extend well beyond evangelicalism
Too true, Bruce. Too true.
