Ah yes, the Lausanne Movement. This is the face of
Evangelicalism in Europe and it has its parallels in Latin America and
elsewhere. Lausanne refers to the 1974 congress organised by John Stott and
Billy Graham on the shores of Lake Geneva.

The Northern Kingdom Analogy
A way to view Rome as a covenantally relevant but apostate
form of Christianity.
Those who say Rome has no status and never did err both
theologically and historically. It's not a tenable position.
And yet those who argue Rome still has status also err.
The Confessional metanarrative which insists Rome was the Church until the Council of Trent
upon which the mantle was taken up by Magisterial Protestantism also err, a
point I will briefly touch on in the conclusion.

Evangelical Manipulation of the Population Debate (Part 2)
The real problem is waste and consumption. The Western world
bears most of the guilt but it must be admitted that they are not solely to
blame. The developing world is wasteful in other ways and certainly nations
like China are now playing their part as well, a part played by the West a
century ago. They have adopted the Western lifestyle and are now part of the
consumption carousel.
Evangelical Manipulation of the Population Debate (Part 1)
Stonestreet once again misleads his audience as to the real
questions concerning world population. For years the consensus has sounded the
alarm about population and the far Right has responded with scepticism
regarding their claims dismissing them as alarmist and agenda driven.
I don't doubt there are ideologues on both sides of the issue
who have made their share of exaggerated claims. The world has proven resilient
with regard to hunger although the costs are enormous and when considered long
term the solutions of today may prove disastrous for tomorrow.
