Well said Skye, although I can’t remember the last time I expected the Huffington Post to provide thoughtful and balanced analysis of America’s religious landscape. I’ll take the Pew Forum any day over HP.
I will be chewing on this post some more. I’m certainly not buying what Bishop is selling. Agree with your sentiments Skye and the points you make are nearly non-existent in many corners of evangelicalism–the church in many sectors seems to be as guilty of Christless spirituality as the world is (or moreso since its us who shoud know better).
“Bishop falls into a common trap-he believes that perception is reality.”… and oddly, it’s the kind of same trap those (i.e. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra) who push the sort of spiritualism Bishop touts fall into themselves.
Thanks for the in-depth look at this, Skye. Appreciate your fervor for accuracy and exposing Bishop’s bias.
My recommendations for the celebrities in 2010 are: go to a U2 concert, take a incognito trip to a poor Latin American village and live in the midst of the poor for two months in the Inner City of Cincinnati, Oh.
Then ask the question what does my new found “spirituality” have to do with the human beings I have before me eyes? They would quickly see that any New Age Movement, be it Christian or otherwise, disconnected from history, from reality and from real people is not an authentic Spirituality.
