Creating the wind of change

If you had to choose from these four categories, which would most describe you?
Liturgical Christian (Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, etc...)
Renewal Christian (Pentecostal, etc...)
Social Justice Christian (Mainline, etc...)
Conservative Christian (Evangelical, non-denominational, etc...)

I would assume that if you're reading this blog, you immediately find fault in having to pick just one. Exactly. Therein lies the problem. At one time the Christian tradition had an easier time "classifying" each other. But then the 80's came and what Tickle calls "watercooler" theology entered the scene. We began to talk about our faith, our traditions, our beliefs. And now, we've changed. (shame on us for talking about our faith with others.)

What seemed like simple interest in other types of Christianity has created some momentum between the four categories. Watch this video:


I think it looks like a fan. And if you can imagine, there ought to be responses within the church to deal with the breeze it creates. So, she maps out four: each are serving the change in their own way. In other words, these are not folks who want it all to stay the same.

Traditionalists: people who are going to stay in their quadrant as a keeper of the tradition, whichever it is.
Re-traditioning: folks who have chosen to stay in their church of heritage but are energetic in refurbishing it.
Progressives: folks who have chosen to stay in their church of heritage but want to remodel rather than refurbish it.
Hyphenates: folks who feel on the margin of any tradition and are truly living in between then and when.

Where do you fit?
