I am 25 years old and since I'm not a modernist, I would never claim to speak for all young people. But here is a 20-something who opposes not only Robinson, but also the revisionist agenda. It boggles the minds of some in the Episcopal Church that a young person can stand against so called progressive Christianity. Well, it seems that "progressive" Christianity when viewed through the eyes of Generation Y, looks rather...well...regressive. I love the music of the 1960s, but the theology and social values have proven to be rather bankrupt. While ECUSA bishops think I would love to be assoiciated with "cutting edge" folks like Barbara Harris and Jack Spong, I have no need of outdated feminism or outdated 19th century German theology viewed through outdated 1960s American lenses. Even among young Episcopalians, the 1960s vision too often lives on, which is why I believe we have abyssmal growth, especially among young people. ECUSA has become a haven for agnostics, pluralists, and athiests. These people need God too, but in the mainlines they're frequently not getting God, just comfortable reaffirmation of their present state. I have never been involved in or have seen a Canterbury or mainline college campus group that had more than 15 regular attendees. Most evangelical and Roman Catholic campus groups have that many showing up during an ebola outbreak during summer vacation. Modernism allowed the culture to critique the faith: thus, if an educated athiest couldn't believe in the resurrection, then the Church shouldn't either. The most thriving, growing churches of today, especially among young people, allow the faith to critique the culture. That is why on one hand, mainlines are rapidly graying and on the other hand why mainline youth convert to more evangelical or Catholic or Orthodox traditions. Research has shown that younger people want mystery and substance in their faith, not rationalism and an anything goes attitude. Church membership statistics confirm this trend. Classical Anglicanism offers alot to our youth: mystery, substance, and even charismatic experiences (also a hugely growing movement) but also a place for honest questioning. ECUSA is graying because it not only does not offer the aforementioned traits, but often mocks them. The re-aligned churches will find a huge mission field out there and I hope we take advantage of it. Pax
