Nothing to see here. Move along now.
For whatever reason, I seem to have encountered a little writer’s block, so I won’t inflict on you my inchoate thoughts on C. Peter Wagner and the New Apostolic Reformation. Heck, I can’t even find primary sources now, though I found a few a few months ago. I’ll just say (1) it strikes me as unusually cultish and doctrinally weird, (2) it bears watching for its political aspirations, and (3) primary sources are better, if you can find them, because few in the press GetReligion (whence the need for a blog of that name).
My recollection of the primary sources is that C. Peter Wagner, formerly quite mainstream, has gone rogue and has aspirations which are alarming. The question is whether he has followers, and on that I’m quite uncertain.
Have a nice Sunday.

Evangelicals and Mormons (lumped) Together
Today is the Feast of Transfiguration in Orthodox Christianity. In Roman Catholicism and much other historically-rooted Christianity, too. But I venture a guess that there’s no Holy Transfiguration Southern Baptist Church anywhere in the world. Continue reading “Evangelicals and Mormons (lumped) Together”
