The survey reflects a key question that demographers, sociologists and political scientists have been asking in recent years: Who makes up this growing group of evangelicals? Forty-four percent of America’s 77 million Christian adults say they are born again or evangelical. Meanwhile, 18 percent of Catholics also chose that label, as did 40 percent of mainline Christians.
“If people call themselves ‘evangelical,’ it doesn’t tell you as much as you think it tells you about what kind of church they go to,” Silk said. “It deepens the conundrum about who evangelicals are.”

IF A GREAT MUSICIAN PLAYS GREAT MUSIC BUT NO ONE HEARS . . . WAS HE REALLY ANY GOOD?
If a world famous violinist played a strad at the L’enfant metro station would people stop to listen? Apparently most didn’t. Over a thousand people walked by… either in a rush or just ignored… it was quite an experiment.
Apparently Joshua Bell is world famous. Well, I take the metro every day. Whenever a musician or band plays at the metro, I usually walk by, so I can’t say I’ll be any better in recognizing talent. But I thought this article pretty insightful. Goes to show how much we really care about quality… I guess not much. :)
Thanks for visiting us. We are a family touched by the grace of Jesus Christ. We hope to share this blessing with all who visit here.
May God richly bless you!
