Evangelical (Not)

Yesterday I described "evangelicalism" old and new -- the old and new definitions of the word. On the surface of it, they look fairly much the same -- however they are far apart. This post is not to side with either old or new, but to point out the risk that it poses for Churches and seminaries. One may invite someone who is explicitly evangelical to lecture or to take the pulpit -- even extend a call to them -- (sometimes) unaware that this is a different kind of evangelical, who could plunge one into crisis or decline. OBSERVATION: Some Churches and seminaries require evangelical ministers and lecturers. My own Churches required evangelical ministers -- the old definition of evangelical.
