Global Warming
November 29, 1997

Put on your armor

I am not aware of many evangelicals in danger of being labeled "quaint"("21st-century Amish," Nov. 22). Would that we be judged "quaint" in both looks and outlook as were Bunyan's heroes passing through Vanity Fair! What's wrong with being "docile," which means "easy to discipline or train?" This is a rare virtue-as long as the world is not our trainer. Yes, too much of the church is gently following the blind "into the cultural night." But the Amish appear to have seen what constitutes a more meaningful life, and many of the pitfalls of modernism and postmodernism, much more clearly than the rest of us better-educated folks. - Michael McMillan, Duncanville, Texas
