The Power is Yours

0

I’ve added Gruntled Center to my blogroll. Here we have a sociologist and Presbyterian elder who sees himself as a centrist in the church, whatever that is. His daughter wrote a series of articles on meliorism (I learned a new word today) that seems to reveal the man-centered religion that is so pervasive in the church today. To read all three of her well-written articles, go to the blogroll link for Gruntled Center, and scroll down.

Gruntled Center: The Power is Yours (1 of 3)

Meliorism rejects the idea that the world is either inevitably slipping down the drain or on a perpetual upswing. Instead, it offers up the idea that, through our action, we can make the world a better place. It is time for us to embrace a melioristic outlook on the world.

Quiz time: Does historic Christianity embrace meliorism? If not, what does it offer in its place?

Dave, Calvinist to the core.
