Are churches becoming more liturgical? Check out these reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Today,\u00a0Scot McKnight<\/a>\u00a0is talking about college students converting from evangelicalism to other traditions. He asks:<\/p>\n

What is going on? There is a rise, a burgeoning rise, of young college students converting from low church evangelicalism, with its anemic, unhistorical ecclesiology, to the great liturgical traditions: Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism. Three students this semester have already told me they are considering converting.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know people who have converted for this reason. I also know evangelical pastors and worship leaders who use all manner of traditional worship resources for two reasons: 1.) They have a personal affinity for high church language and 2.) They are students of culture, who notice our growing interest in the words and symbols of historic Christianity.<\/p>\n

Scot ends his post with a charge:<\/p>\n

The conversion of young low church evangelicals to liturgical traditions should hardly surprise us. What we should be doing is correcting our weaknesses\u00a0by\u00a0listening to those converting.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any thoughts?<\/p><\/div>\n
