Blogging Assignment No. 2 for Oct. 31-Nov. 7

We have been examining the effect of the postmodern worldview on our culture as well as how we should address these attitudes. And, you were each assigned specific sections in "They Like Jesus, but Not the Church" . Discuss in your blog the following questions/issues ( or others relating to this those of you might pose).

1. What do you think causes the unchurched to like Jesus but not the church?
2. What specific actions should we take individually and/or as "the church" to change this attitude.?
3. Out of all the negative attitudes that the unchurched think Christians have, which one is the most destructive to postmoderns accepting the gospel? What should we do about it?

4. This question relates to generational attitudes towards "church": Do you think we should or should not adopt those things postmoderns view as needed when "doing church". If so, when and why or if not why not?

Note: You do not have to answer every question posed. But, you do have to particpate in the discussion that is ongoing on the blog.
