sunday morning class

well, i'm back from my business trip for awhile. this sunday i begin co-leading a class with one of our shepherds, jerre. the discussion will be over the book "the case for a Creator." i get to leadoff with chapter one, white coated scientists versus black-robed preachers.

have any of you read this book by lee strobel or any of his other works? i like his perspective on things being as though he was an aethist, and now he is 180 the other direction. here is a quote from chapter one that basically might be able to be said of most of us:

But there was also an undercurrent of something else: an inchoate fear of the future, of change, of new ideas, of cultural transformation. I could sense a simmering frustration in people over how modernity was eroding the foundation of their faith. "Many of the protesters," wrote the Charleston Gazette, "are demonstrating against a changing world."

this quote reflected how some of the citizens of west virginia felt concerning the changes in textbooks in the schools. the schools were going to have textbooks that supported evolution. do any of you remember when this started? i was in second grade so i don't remember what the textbooks looked like before the changes were happening. i was going to school in south houston until my 3rd grade year. then i had to go to school in the DOD system in panama where my dad was stationed.

could some of the feelings that were being shared by the citizens of west virginia be compared to how some members of churches feel about how things have changed in the past 10 years in churches of Christ?
