It is a constant puzzling puzzle to me that the (more or less) sincere religious leaders of romanian evangelic christianity seem to misunderstand or underestimate the new epoch in which we’re living today, i.e. the postmodernity. It had to be a non-evangelical, Horia-Roman Patapievici, who had to deal with the ways postmodernity challanges us and what could be done to meet these challanges. And he did that in 500+ pages. Why didn’t that kind of approach appear in the evangelical environment?

 Because, although we pretend to clearly understand our time (see the message delivered by pastor Candrianu at National Baptist Conference, Resita, 2006), we cannot help to proudly assert that we’ll trample all the postmodern demons. Not knowing that keeping our head in the clouds, snakes can easily bit our legs.

The same old, unchanged in the essentials, discourse is taught and learned by the new spokesmen of the evangelical community, forgetting the bare fact that we’re living in another world.

 I do not assume that I have the smart answers for this situation. But I’m desperate to hear the more experienced voices (the patriarchs that Daniel Farcas once spoke) leading clearly the romanian believers in these troubled times.
