Found your review at the Pagan Christianity website. Just thought you and your readers might enjoy reading a new interview with George Barna and Frank Viola. I just posted it today: <a href="http://thin-edge.org/2008/02/27/the-thin-edge-hosts-joint-interview-with-barna-viola/" rel="nofollow">The Thin Edge hosts joint interview with Barna & Viola</a>. Hi.

And I like your site. I figure the more perspectives on this concept of the shifting nature of Christianity, the better. Here's a sweet quote on the matter by Pricilla Shirer, In the first century in Palestine,” she noted, “Christianity was a community of believers. Then Christianity moved to Greece and became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome and became an institution. Then it moved to Europe and became a culture. And then it moved to America and became a business. We need to get back to being a healthy, vibrant community of true followers of Jesus." Are we really following Christ if we are doing anything but what he called us to do in the first place? The next question for me then is: did he call us to organized religion, or to a family?
