American Spirituality

by Joe Thorn on February 21, 2008

Came across this in our local paper.

American spirituality has glorified ‘searching’ for spiritual meaning but de-emphasized ‘finding.’ In other words, it is good to be looking for spirituality, but it is intolerant to actually believe you have found a right faith.
- Ed Stetzer, quoted in Kane County Chronicle

Was Stetzer being interviewed by the Kane Co Chronicle? In what context?

Nah. It was a piece published in a number of newspapers.

Good times. I just posted on the same general topic a few days ago: http://thelinechicago.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/missionaries-public-or-private/

How are you finding the dynamics of pluralism working themselves out in a Midwestern suburban (vs. urban) setting?
