Next Spirituality

"We certainly have been placed in an interesting time. In fact it is not much different than what Machen was experiencing in the early 1900's. We have a rise of liberalism within the church labeled as Emergent. And we have the rise of scientism outside the church labeled as Progess. Both are trying to regain ground. One attempts to gain ground they lost to the evangelicals, and the other ground they lost to the postmoderns. The New Liberalism and the New Science which are not really new at all are they?," Tom Moller, an elder at Kaleo Church


Quote from a post on goodmanson.com about the possible future of spirituality.

I would argue though that I do not know if some of these trends will stick as the primary with Atheism and Science is that they do not and cannot answer the larger questions people have. They are find sounding arguements, but merely a new approach to the same old attempts at "new religion" which all are still born into an impotent faith based on hollow philosophies and elemental spirits of the age.

Is nothing new under the sun? Nothing.
