    Edited by Gary W. Moon and David G. Benner

    In recent years, many Christian clergy, laity and mental health professionals have rediscovered the ancient practices of spiritual direction.

    Evangelical, Sacramental, and Pentecostal

    Why the Church Should Be All Three

    by Gordon T. Smith

    Evangelical. Sacramental. Pentecostal. Christian communities tend to identify with one of these labels over the other two. Evangelical churches emphasize the importance of Scripture and preaching. Sacramental churches emphasize the importance of the eucharistic table. And pentecostal churches emphasize the immediate presence and power of the Holy Spirit. But must we choose between them? Could the ...

    The Message of Genesis 12–50

So why do so many people see Christianity as a primarily Western, white religion?
