How do you commend the faith to those who consider themselves to be ‘over it’?
They’ve ‘been there, done that, binned the T-shirt.’ The question is especially tricky if your picture of evangelism is to stand outside the front door of the church, as it were, beckoning people in.
This is a fine strategy, but nowadays we are witnessing a prominent movement of people leaving by the back door. Some of them slip out of their Christian faith quietly, some of them slam the door so everyone can hear, and some say they’re just popping out to give the whole structure a once-over – maybe they’ll be back.
