A voice crying in the evangelical wilderness. The voice of one who has been mired in the evangelical church for 25 years and has seen it all. The raspy groaning cries of one who's mad as hell and can't take it any more!
I received this link from - not one - not two - but THREE different alert readers. Thanks to Blake, Mark and Brandon for passing it along. Enjoy!

I have been in the evangelical church for 25 years. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I committed my life to Christ on that February evening so long ago. I have sat on committees, chaired committees, and condemned other unsuspecting sacrificial lambs to serve on committees. I've performed in big, tacky evangelical musical productions and sung in tiny little off-key choirs that dream of being big, tacky evangelical productions. I've played for worship teams and been in more agonizingly bad dramas than I care to admit. I've spoken at camps, retreats, and seminars and been sentenced to teach Sunday School for children, youth and adults. I've served, attended and/or been member of many different denominational and non-denominational churches of evangelical persuasion. Needless to say, I have to get some things off my chest.

Hi Mr. Wilderness,
There is life out here ...outside the camp. I don't know where your head and heart is at other than you are really upset with organized religion. I am fortunate, God spared me some of what you have gone through by calling me out of the church when I was 16. I am not apart of the home church movement either though I do get together with others. I live in the midwest too, SW Michigan.
