What’s your theological worldview?

June 11th, 2005

Came across this quiz via Jesus Outside the Box, a blog I found recently (and am enjoying immensely so far). Yeah, these results sound about right. The only problem I have is that here in Colorado Springs, I’m not having much luck finding anything that might look like a Postmodern Evangelical church. The one I’ve visited a couple times strikes me as Charismatic, dressed up in Postmodern clothing…but still basically closer to Fundie than I’m looking for. Vanguard’s close ties to Focus on the Family tell me quite a bit.

As much as I’ve enjoyed the services at Vanguard, the basic school of thought at First Congregational (Liberal/Classical type) seems to suit me better. It’s too traditional for my tastes in form and music, but I don’t find myself having such a disconnect of beliefs there.

The photo below is of a fellow named Brian McLaren, who is apparently the posterchild for Postmodern Christianity. I haven’t read any of his books…yet…but have read a few quotes from them in Donald Miller’s books and on some of the blogs I’ve picked up recently. Looks like he’s someone I might enjoy.

My results:

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don’t think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.
