“Private” and “Cultural” Christians.
As noted in the reading, Christianity is made up of many different denominations. I have asked you to read a supplemental article at the end of the chapter on the different types of Christians. The author of this article has five adjectives that describe Christians. He notes that those Christians who are “Liturgical” include Roman Catholic and Lutheran denominations. The first two “types” he lists are “Active” and “Professing” Christians. Given what you have read about the different Christian denomination, which denominations would likely fit into these two categories of “Active” and “Professing?” The final two categories are “Private” and “Cultural” Christians. The author seems to suggest these groups are worrisome to Christianity in general; why is that? Why do you think so many young people are classified within these two groups?
