The New Mission Field

In the Washington Post, former Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson reports on the growing power of the global south within Christianity, prompted by Nigerian (Anglican) Archbishop Peter Akinola's installation of a missionary bishop to America.  An excerpt:

Some American religious conservatives have embraced ties with this emerging Christianity, including the church I attend. But there are adjustments in becoming a junior partner. The ideological package of the global south includes not only moral conservatism but also an emphasis on social justice, an openness to state intervention in markets, and a suspicion of American economic and military power. The emerging Christian majority is not the Moral Majority.

But the largest adjustments are coming on the religious left. For decades it has preached multiculturalism, but now, on further acquaintance, it doesn't seem to like other cultures very much.
