Am Loving is so so much this is helpful to me as a Church Leader to change people's thinking on Christianity which should be more than just like a religious many God bless you
So, you're saying pietism is a GOOD thing? It is pietism (the personalization of your faith and abdication of any Christian moral responsibilities in the civic realm or culture) which has wrought serious destruction on western civilization over the last 200 years (paganism is always looming to fill the void). This has led to thousands of American churches failing to properly teach Biblical morality with the intent of the people engaging the culture through politics, education, the arts, etc. Churches no longer talk about what's right and wrong and then expect congregants to act accordingly. I do not believe pietism has been a good thing. Personal piety, yes. Collective pietism, no.
Hi, sorry it took me so long to see this and reply. There are different streams and interpretations of pietism. The original movement that I'm describing was deeply committed to fulfilling moral and ethical responsibilities. Take a closer look at the work of Francke in Halle, Germany, for example. What became known as "pietism" in North America tended to individualize religion and spirituality to an extreme.
Very helpful overview...Many thanks 😊
