Millions of people, particularly in the Western world, are Christian in name, come from Christian backgrounds, are familiar with Christianity, and believe that they know and understand Christianity but no longer practice that faith in a meaningful way. They’ve heard of Christ and the Gospel, even though they may be overrating themselves in their belief that they know and understand what all this means. No matter. Whatever their shortcomings in understanding a faith they no longer practice, they believe that they’ve already been evangelized and that their non-practice is an examined decision. Their attitude toward Christianity, in essence, is: I know what it is. I’ve tried it. And it’s not for me! How do we make the Gospel fresh for those for whom it has become stale? How do we, as G. K. Chesterton put it, help people to look at the familiar until it looks unfamiliar again? How do we try to Christianize someone who is already Christian? There are no simple answers. It’s not as if we haven’t already been trying to do that for more than a generation. Whatever we do must be done through the lens of relationships – relations with God, the Church, and a faith community. It’s not so much about proclaiming what we believe, it’s living out what you believe that impacts others. If we do not have a relationship with something, it means nothing to us; therefore, when we see no value in something, we move on to things that we do have a relationship with. Most of those we are discussing herein have found meaningful relationships with things in and around the world. Things they believe in and that matter to them. Until God is not just one of those things but THE THING that matters in their life, he will forever be distant and unimportant to them. How can this change? It all starts with building trust through the lived praxis of our lives lived with God at its center and how its effect on your life is something others see and long to have. That is how hearts and minds open to the idea of God and his love, grace, and endless mercy that changes lives.
