What can we not find in this world?

   Recently The Christian Pundit put out an article hypothesizing the reasons Evangelical Protestant millennials are moving away from their church and back to a liturgical based "High" denomination such as Anglicanism, Conservative Lutheranism, and of course Catholicism [insert famous Ferris "ism" speech here ;-)].  Why?  

The kids who leave evangelical Protestantism are looking for something the world can’t give them. The world can give them hotter jeans, better coffee, bands, speakers, and book clubs than a congregation can. What it can’t give them is theology; membership in a group that transcends time, place and race; a historic rootedness; something greater than themselves; ordained men who will be spiritual leaders and not merely listeners and buddies and story-tellers. 

   To be honest, one of the greatest things I miss about my former (Evangelical Protestant) church are those worldly things.  I liked the good music, the entertaining homilies, the activities that weren't just for retirees.  I belong to a small Catholic church now, and it is very traditional, and although I adore the theology, I crave the engagement.  I miss how in love people appeared to be with Jesus, with Scripture.  I know many of the large Catholic churches have found a balance between worldliness and theological depth and tradition, but mine has yet to, and they aren't even at a place where listening to a twenty-something married but without children woman is a plausible scenario.

   Back from my tangent:  Read the article, "Young Evangelicals are getting High".  It is well worth the few minutes!
