Protestants outside the orbits of evangelicals and mainliners talking about church stuff.


Paleo Protestant Pudcast

This discussion among the co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian), has almost nothing to do with Thanksgiving but it does resume the last one about the Anglican Church in North America. Miles Smith provides an update on the ongoing efforts to resolve conflict over <a href= "https://adoc.church/understanding-the-allegations-involving-archbishop-steve-wood/"> allegations of sexual misconduct by Archbishop Steve Wood</a>. He also comments on the Matthew Wilcoxen <a href= "https://mereorthodoxy.com/how-to-reform-the-anglican-church-in-north-america"> proposal</a> for reforming ACNA. Disputes in the Presbyterian Church in America over <a href= "https://theaquilareport.com/the-foster-report-is-a-credible-report-functional-female-officers-in-the-pca/"> women as deaconesses and or shepherdesses</a> opened a window on the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod led by Korey Maas. All of this may sound like too much detail. But if you believe God is in the details, you should be fine.

Inside Confessional Protestant Baseball

The bumper music for this episode, chosen by our Presbyterian producer, comes from the 1964 <a href= "https://youtu.be/QOuceDR7NcQ?si=PaRufQkYIBbYFa0j">comic rendition</a> of an Anglican homily by Alan Bennett ("My Brother Esau, Beyond the Fringe"). The subject discussed by pudcast co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) may be the same -- Anglicanism -- but the approach is not comedic. Anglicans around the world have been in the news, from the <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/world/europe/uk-archbishop-canterbury-woman-church-sarah-mullally.html"> appointment</a> of a new (and female) archbishop of Canterbury, to the <a href= "https://juicyecumenism.com/2025/07/28/matthew-barrett-baptist-to-anglican-pipeline/"> decision</a> by a prominent Baptist historical theologian to join ACNA. <a href= "https://juicyecumenism.com/2025/09/29/anglican-chaplains/">All</a> the <a href= "https://juicyecumenism.com/2025/10/20/gafcon-anglican/">recent</a> <a href= "https://www.anglicandoma.org/messenger-articles/ordination-in-the-diocese-warner"> news</a> deserves way more than roughly 55 minutes of banter. But with the help of our resident Anglican, Miles Smith, we learned about the choppy water in which the bishops, clergy, and laity find themselves.

What Are Anglicans Doing?

A recent <a href= "https://firstthings.com/a-new-evangelical-harvest/">article</a> announced a shift, some call it vibe, others a mood, that is making Christianity more acceptable or less appealing than it used to be in Aaron Renn's "<a href= "https://firstthings.com/the-three-worlds-of-evangelicalism/">negative world</a>." This is related to a question of what influence churches have on a society and its culture. Aaron Renn <a href= "https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/redeemed-zoomer-can-mainline-denominations"> interviewed</a> <a href= "https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/empty-churches-richard-reinhard">several</a> <a href= "https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/a-pastors-battle-to-save-historic">leaders</a> among the effort to take back the mainline Protestant denominations (from a <a href= "https://juicyecumenism.com/2025/08/25/mainline-protestantisms-fall/"> fall</a> that everyone acknowledges but does not necessarily measure). One of the reasons for looking to these churches instead of the Presbyterian Church in America, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, or the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, is that the mainline denominations have more status than the sideline alternatives, and therefore are more likely to promote Christianity beyond the church to the culture more generally. The pudcast co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) discuss these matters, even with some attention to the church's influence on the Roman empire and much later on American society during the early national period. In the latter case, Ross Douthat's comments in an <a href= "https://newleftreview.org/issues/ii152/articles/ross-douthat-condition-of-america"> interview</a> (read in the recording) about low-church Protestantism's influence on America are yet another aspect of Christianity's cultural influence.

Cultural Christianity

It is back-to-school time and the co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) are getting ready for classes. This makes it a good time to reflect on the kind of education that nurtures confessional Protestant piety and practice -- for both ministers and church members. The recording starts with each member of the "broadcasting team" talking about upcoming classes at Hillsdale College and how we situate ourselves within the framework of classical education, the "Great Books," and liberal education. From there the conversation explores the relationship between confessional Protestantism and the kind of learning that at least pastors need, which points back to ties between the Reformation and the Renaissance, which then leads to the Renaissance's recovery of ancient Greek and Latin authors and the way Humanism cultivated Protestant understandings of education. At the very end comes some commentary on whether the Bible qualifies as a "Great Book" or is merely a "Good Book." The co-hosts "did the reading" for this discussion which included a <a href= "https://americanmind.org/salvo/great-books-is-for-losers/">critique of "The Great Books</a>," a <a href= "https://www.christianitytoday.com/2025/05/passing-torch-apology-classical-christian-education-louis-markos-great-books/"> review of a book</a> about the Bible and classical education, and <a href= "https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-decline-of-liberal-arts-and-humanities-western-philosophy-college-students-major-degrees-progressive-conservative-odysseus-6f327963"> college students</a> on the appeal of liberal education. No sponors this episode. The Pudcast transcends money.

Does Confessional Protestantism Need Classical Education

To put the question even more pointedly, with lots of stereotyping to go round, when do Lutherans of German descent who settled mainly in the northern mid-western states pay attention to Baptists in the South? This was the subject of the recent recording when co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) discussed Scott Yenor's <a href= "https://americanreformer.org/2025/06/sbc-a-living-giant-must-organize-to-survive/"> article on what Southern Baptist conservatives might learn from Missouri Synod Lutherans</a> about "the left's" attack on denominational institutions. Part of the discussion involved the Southern Baptist Convention's place in conservative politics and the New Calvinist movement. Another part involved the dark side of church politics -- how much officers and members need to strategize and organize to defeat opponents within a communion where everyone is supposed to agree. Articles the co-hosts mentioned included: Korey Maas on the <a href= "https://www.acton.org/religion-liberty/volume-34-number-4/discordia-lutheran-seminary-wrecked-and-reborn">controversy in the LCMS</a> over Concordia Seminary, St. Louis; and the place of civil rights <a href= "https://scholar.csl.edu/ccchurchhist3/64/">politics in the LCMS controversy</a>. For any Presbyterians who might see parallels in the Lutheran and Baptist controversies with the Presbyterian conflict of the 1920s, especially over control of seminaries, this discussion at <a href= "https://reformedforum.org/podcasts/ctc267/">The Reformed Forum</a> may be of use. This episode's sponor is the National Public Radio <a href= "https://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/">show</a>, "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me."

Since When Do Confessional Protestants Pay Attention to Baptists?

The topic this time is evangelical sacramentalism courtesy of a good short <a href= "https://mereorthodoxy.com/the-overcorrection-of-the-evangelical-sacramentalists"> article</a> by <a href= "https://www.gcc.edu/Home/Staff-Directory/Staff-Detail/harp-eyes-roots-rationale-of-christian-right-in-new-book"> Gillis Harp</a>, a retired professor of history at Grove City College. With Dr. Harp, the co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) talk about the recent elevation of the sacraments among Protestants, whether this is a function of Protestants trying to retrieve the church fathers or re-enchant worship services, and the relationship between preaching and the Lord's Supper. Spoiler alert: readers may be surprised to hear an Anglican (Dr. Harp) defend a high view of preaching. Listeners may want to consult <a href= "https://catechism.cph.org/">Luther's Small Catechism</a>, the <a href= "https://www.anglicancommunion.org/media/109014/Thirty-Nine-Articles-of-Religion.pdf"> Thirty-Nine Articles</a>, and the <a href= "https://www.opc.org/sc.html">Shorter Catechism</a> on the Lord's Supper to see the language used to describe the benefits of the sacrament.

How High Is the Lord's Supper?

The death of Pope Francis and the election of a new pope -- Leo XIV -- were the circumstances for co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) to talk about relationships between Protestants and the papacy. The conversation ranged widely, from assessments of Francis, speculation about Leo, and general observations about Christianity's need for a sound pope. Keeping up with all of the articles about either Francis' legacy or Leo's prospects is impossible. But <a href= "https://www.theamericanconservative.com/was-pope-francis-a-liberal/"> these</a> were <a href="https://blog.ayjay.org/francis/">some</a> of <a href= "https://firstthings.com/pope-francis-my-worst-protestant-nightmare/"> the articles</a> the co-hosts <a href= "https://www.thefp.com/p/the-american-pope">consulted</a> before being recorded.

Do Protestants Catch Colds if the Pope Sneezes?

The Lutheran, Reformed, and Anglican heirs of the Protestant Reformation continue to make news by not attracting attention from observers of American Protestantism. The co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian), talk about two recent articles about traditional Protestantism that either imply or claim that such Christianity is down on the mat for the count (think boxing). One is Brad East's "<a href= "https://firstthings.com/goldilocks-protestantism/">Goldilocks Protestantism</a>" and the other is Casey Spinks "<a href= "https://currentpub.com/2025/02/27/long-form-does-traditional-protestantism-have-a-future/">Does Traditional Protestantism Have a Future</a>?" The conversation may not be as hopeful as some listeners want. But along with the <a href= "https://sites.libsyn.com/521368/confessional-protestantism-and-denominationalism"> last episode</a> on non-denominational Protestantism, this one reveals further challenges that confessional Protestant communions face. Follow some of us -- Miles Smith @ivmiles and D. G. Hart (for now) @reallyoldlife.

It's Like Confessional Protestantism Doesn't Exist

This time co-hosts <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) talk about whether non-denominational Christianity is the future of American Protestantism and what stake confessional Protestants have in denominational structures. The basis for discussion is sociologist Ryan Burge's <a href= "https://www.graphsaboutreligion.com/p/the-future-of-american-christianity"> analysis of church statistics</a> whose numbers indicate the remarkable increase of non-denominational Protestantism. Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, and Congregationalists may sound like the ecclesiastical equivalent of Ford, Lincoln, Chevrolet, and Buick, but institutions matter to Christian faith and practice as much as they do to the manufacturing and sale of automobiles. Follow the Anglican co-host @ivmiles and the Presbyterian co-host @oldlife.

Confessional Protestantism and Denominationalism

The Pudcast returns with co-hosts <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) in the after glow of a very long holiday season -- that seems to get longer the older the observer becomes. The recording starts with question of whether the five to six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Years -- when everyone seems to return to pandemic levels of output in the workplace -- is too long. Included is attention to the particular aspects of holiday observance among Lutherans and Anglicans (with Lutherans getting lots of credit for using the phrase, "The Divine Service" most often). Material that stimulated the discussion was Ross Douthat's <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/21/opinion/religion-christmas-revival.html"> speculation</a> that secular liberalism has run out of steam and Eli Lake's <a href= "https://www.thefp.com/p/eli-lake-jews-wrote-your-favorite-christmas-songs-irving-berlin"> report</a> on the Jewish-Americans who wrote so many of the secular Christmas songs. Listeners who have not seen Whit Stillman's movie, "<a href= "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100142/">Metropolitan</a>" should do so asap even if it is no longer Christmas or Advent or Debutante Ball season. Owing to the recent death of former POTUS, Jimmy Carter and Donald Trump's election victory, the co-hosts also speculated about the effects of past and future presidents on the <a href= "https://www.christianitytoday.com/2024/12/died-president-jimmy-carter-100-baptist-christian-politics/"> religious</a> <a href= "https://newrepublic.com/article/188337/cultural-christianity-taking-conservative-movement"> vibe</a> in the United States and elsewhere. Bonus content: <a href= "https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2016/fall/feature/how-washington-irving-shaped-christmas-in-america"> here</a> is an introduction to Washington Irving's Old Christmas, a story that shaped American customs surrounding the holiday.

Teach Us To Number Our Holidays (so they don't turn into seasons)

When most confessional Protestants are preparing for end-of-calendar-year holidays, they are likely thinking about Lutheran seminary education. For that reason, this discussion with co-hosts <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) will be a treat. The basis for discussion is an article that Korey Maas wrote for the Acton Institute publication, Religion and Liberty, on the late 1960s controversy at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis which led to the exodus of confessionally liberal Lutherans not only from the seminary but also from the LCMS altogether. Among the points of controversy was the doctrine of inerrancy, which gave the conflict a certain resemblance to the Presbyterian controversy of the 1920s. Spoiler alert: the co-hosts never mention beer and only bring up Presbyterianism at the end of the episode. So you have to listen to the end (at least it's not behind a paywall). The article by Korey Maas who is still not on Twitter (formerly called Twitter) is <a href= "https://www.acton.org/religion-liberty/volume-34-number-4/discordia-lutheran-seminary-wrecked-and-reborn"> here</a>. The LCMS statement on the authority and infallibility of the Bible is <a href= "https://www.lcms.org/about/beliefs/doctrine/statement-of-scriptural-and-confessional-principles"> here</a>. Miles Smith is still @ivmiles and D. G. Hart is still @oldlife. As is always the case, the pudcast would not exist without the incomparable assistance of @presbycast.

Merry, Merry Lutheran Seminary

The vibe for this recording was solemn even if the co-hosts <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian) were also excited for the upcoming marriage of our only confessional Protestant bachelor (sorry ladies). The reason for the somber mood was Miles Smith's <a href= "https://mereorthodoxy.com/perdition">piece at MereOrthodoxy</a> on evangelicals and politics. There he suggests that American Protestants have lost a sense of nations sitting under God's judgment. In which case, the presidential campaign and the results could be less a story of redemption than they reveal God's rebuke of an errant society. From that starting point, conversation ranged to the degree to which confessional Protestants suffer from viewing the United States as a redeemer nation, how millennialism affects nationalism, differing estimates (Augustinian or Eusebian) of Christian government, and even whether Christians can learn a tragic sense of politics from H. L. Mencken. No sponsors, but it should have been Joy dishwashing detergent.

A Tragic Election?

We did try, the we being co-hosts <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian). The plan was to have a Zoom chat with listeners. We did but only one listener showed up. We will have to take another run at this. Even so, the lack of other chatters and despite some technological glitches, the co-hosts still managed to talk about what it means to belong to the church, the importance of the institutional church (over against parachurch competitors), and the degree to which cultural or civilizational Christianity reinforces church ties. Among the titles that we mentioned in connection with the effects of the Cold War on church life in the United States were Stephen Bullivant's <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Nonverts-Ex-Christian-America-Stephen-Bullivant/dp/0197587445"> Nonverts: The Making of Ex-Christian America</a>; <a href= "https://news.fresno.edu/article/01/11/2019/darin-lenz-publishes-article-martin-luther-and-cold-war-america"> Darin Lenz's article</a>, "'Hail Luther's Contribution': A Sixteenth-Century Reformer in Cold War America" in Church History; and Kirk Farney's <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Ministers-New-Medium-Broadcasting-Ministries/dp/1514003228"> Ministers of a New Medium: Broadcasting Theology in the Radio Ministries of Fulton J. Sheen and Walter A. Maier</a>. Even "The Crown" came up (still working on "The Wire") in relation to <a href= "https://youtu.be/xNOeMiQSKqc?si=mt3VuS4zxY2YMrlS">the episode</a> that features Billy Graham's preaching for Queen Elizabeth (Season 2, ep.6). No sponsors this time. We would hate to sully any company or institution with this sorry technological performance.

The Live Show that Almost Died

The Woody Allen movie, "Manhattan," includes a <a href= "https://youtu.be/Yw_cOCGWXJU?si=wlOqgQ_abdnaRU9m">scene</a> where two couples are walking and the one played by Michael Murphy and Diane Keaton unveil their Academy of Overrated. To this body they assign Gustav Mahler, Isak Dinesen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Lenny Bruce, Norman Mailer, Mozart, , Vincent Van Gogh, and Ingmar Bergman. The co-hosts on this recording, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> (Presbyterian), consider their own list of overrated theologians. The ones discussed are Karl Barth, the <a href= "https://www.christianitytoday.com/2024/06/moltmann-obit-theology-hope/"> recently deceased</a> Juergen Moltmann, and C. S. Lewis. The reason behind raising the question is not to belittle any of these theologians' achievements but to consider how it is that a theologian -- when there are so many -- emerges as the "go to" authority for ending a doctrinal debate. It also relates to confessional Protestant theological traditions in which those students training for a specific communion are going to be much more likely to read theologians in the Lutheran, Reformed, or Anglican traditions -- instead of reading broadly in the theologians who transcend specific Protestant communions. A final thread of conversation was whether the "big names" of Protestant theology can survive in an age of megachurches and church planting networks. The sponsor this time is <a href= "https://www.yelp.com/biz/ethan-s-donut-factory-hillsdale">Ethan's Donut Factory</a> in downtown Hillsdale, Michigan.

How Theologians Achieve Greatness

The co-hosts, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a> (Lutheran), <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a> @IVMiles (Anglican), and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a> @oldlife (Presbyterian) have returned to campus and are so dedicated to their audience that they carved out time before the semester starts to talk about denominational news. Summers are when the NBA hosts its championship so that commissioners from confessional Protestant communions have something to watch after denominational meetings. The co-hosts go through the round-up of denominational news and even though the Lutherans did not meet Korey Maas explains the peculiarities of Missouri Synod polity. The hosts also discuss the relative toxicity of David French (who was <a href= "https://religionnews.com/2024/05/15/pca-cancels-anti-polarization-panel-with-david-french-for-being-too-polarizing/"> invited to a Presbyterian General Assembly only to be uninvited</a>) and Carl Trueman who <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/live/_bDBVuHlIAE">drew crowds</a> at an Anglican synod (Diocese of the Living Word). For anyone outside a denomination and feeling a hankering for this sort of Christian organization, Ross Douthat's <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/15/opinion/sunday/save-the-mainline.html"> nostalgia for the Protestant mainline</a> in the United States may suggest the value of such structures. Yuval Levin's own <a href= "https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/18/opinion/sunday/institutions-trust.html"> positive estimate of institutions</a> is another reason to consider the superiority of denominations to networks and church-planting start-ups. Keep an eye out for a live Paleo Protestant Pudcast sometime in September. Information will be forthcoming (dv).

Only Presbyterians Have Assemblies but Most Protestants Assemble

The whole crew (<a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/darryl-hart/">D. G. Hart</a>-Presbyterian, <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/korey-maas/">Korey Maas</a>-Lutheran, and <a href= "https://www.hillsdale.edu/faculty/miles-smith-iv/">Miles Smith</a>-Anglican) returns in this discussion of Miles's <a href= "https://mereorthodoxy.com/reading-the-exvangelicals">review of several recent books</a> by evangelicals who left evangelicalism to become - you guessed it - exvangelicals. These books parallel the rise and fall of the Young Restless Reformed which was the subject of this <a href= "https://americanreformer.org/2024/06/the-decline-and-fall-of-the-yrr/">article</a>. These trends also coincide with the increase of <a href= "https://opc.org/os.html?article_id=1134">Americans who qualify as "nonverts</a>," that is, people who used to identify as some version of Christian and now consider themselves "none," as in having no religion. For those who consider the importance of institutions, especially for confessional Protestants with a high doctrine of the church, these trends present serious dilemmas for the ongoing ministry of word and sacrament through the agency of an institutional church (sometimes known as denomination). Confessional Protestants generally take denominational structures for granted even though since the rise of the megachurch (1990s), followed by social network forms of Christian cooperation and aspiration (Gospel Coalition and Acts 29, for example), more and more American Christians are unfamiliar with the institutional mechanisms for organizing ministry and belonging. What may be especially intriguing for those with ears to be intrigued is that the shelf-life of recent evangelical endeavors in church planting run out of steam and done so almost as fast (as they tell us) as the planet is heating up. Summer is too short for advertisements. But Twitter access is still available for Miles Smith @ivmiles and D. G. Hart @oldlife. Please do not bother Korey Maas. He has an academic department to run.
