I know I've come to the party very late, but I found this through some searching on Google (and oddly, not from reading your blog, which I've done for awhile now) and you have no idea how relevant this is to my life and my current evening of existential ponderings. I'm not sure if you'll be at Princeton when I get there this fall, but I do hope to meet you some day. I appreciate the way you think about church issues. Thank you for writing this.

Since it is not a brand new issue (self indulgent church), we have heard sporadically a pastor or two challenging the church to wake up and to some extent the church has even got used to the rebuking but no action is taken. So sometimes, it is needed, perhaps a very unusual and strong analogy to put peoples' sleeping brains into thinking, considering and committing. Although I would never dare to use this analogy, it challenges me to keep praying for a revival to our sleeping church, and I thought it was only a problem in my country!!!
