\nMy post today for my 40 days of blogging is over at the Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy<\/a> blog. Here’s an excerpt:<\/p>\n

One of the things I’ve noticed in recent years is the growth of all kinds of “Post-_______” Christianity. By this I mean varieties of Christianity that are all generally within the Evangelical Protestant genre yet explicitly do not embrace any particular tradition.<\/p>\n

Typically, what this looks like is something recognizably Evangelical yet with a potpourri of different doctrinal, worship and pastoral emphases and elements. We might see old standard hymns alongside modern pop CCM, yet with bits gleaned from historical Christianity, as well.<\/p>\n

This differs from standard Evangelicalism in that it is vocal about how it is not bound. It’s comfortable being a hybrid based largely on what an individual Christian or (often) church planter feels speaks especially to him.<\/p>\n

It might be an individual choice or even a whole community following what they see as a complicated yet honest path—though perhaps not quite authentic<\/i>, because, well, how would you know?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
