Bedford-Strohm confuses cause and effect if he in fact
believes that a lack of “coolness” is the reason for the vanishing members. It
is plainly just this desperate attempt to surf the wave of the politically
correct Zeitgeist that has alienated
the faithful from the Evangelical Church.
Who fraternizes with Fridays for Future, SOS traffickers and
other leftist-criminal organizations need not wonder over his own obvious
failures. Who feels himself drawn to these substitute religions similarly
determines for himself the original. The result of the red-green politicization of the Evangelical Church is an alienation of the faithful
from their Church leadership: The core of the faith, the Christian message of
the life to come, then primarily takes effect when those affected are far, far
removed.
The faithful in the communities feel themselves left in the
lurch by Zeitgeist preachers like
Bedford-Strohm, for whom their belief in climate change appears more important
than that in God.
