Post Modern Christianity: The Future of the Church and Post Modern Ministry in the 21st Century: "Though each group fervently believes the other has 'missed it'--though each group believes they are history's 'chosen ones'--though each group plots the destruction of the other ('in the name of love and compassion,' of course), both groups have been firmly rejected by the postmodern world.
The unchurched masses, for example, are not impressed by 'hypocrisy in religious poses.' They are not moved by 'money and power in pious garbs.' And they are not affected by 'empty pieties within worn-out traditions.' Their disinterest has even turned menacingly toward a dislike of the church. The more rebellious ones, for example, insist that 'faith in God is not only out of date, but (even) dangerous.'(1)"
