LeadershipJournal.net – Passionate, but Not for Mel’s Movie – by Brian McLaren.

In one world, modern American Christians can be trusted to bounce and bound like golden retrievers from one silver-bullet “outreach opportunity” to the next—seeking single source shortcuts to complete our mission, which we hope to finish as soon as possible, I guess so we can all get to heaven so the world and its troubles are left behindâ„¢.

It’s a good read. It puts a finger on why I felt like sticking my finger all the way down my throat and wretching whenver I heard about pre-printed doorhangers and tracts to hand out to people coming out of the movie, and yet why I want the movie to succeed.
