Sadly you are correct about protestants nostr:nprofile1qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3e8qatz9euk2emgwfhjuumfw3jj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3wamnwvaz7tmzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wvf5hgcm0d9hx2u3wwdhkx6tpdshsqgyejh6yf4x6gnnfsj6vlgahlmpu7k74p44c8drrpn9qf7nrnfyqvquh45d6 , I’m a pentacostal minister and far too many no longer believe the church is relevant and have crossed into mysticism.

I believe this has a lot to do with the mega churches and televangelists and their watered down gospel.

The Good News though is God is still sitting on His throne.

I'm not sure what it's like in the US, but I feel like the UK protestant churches have an unseriousness about them. Like they've consulted a social media manager for an illinformed rebranding and been told that Pinterest live laugh love aesthetics and liberalism will draw in the crowds. I may just be basing this on a few churches I walk past, in quite affluent liberal areas lol).

(Not sure in what sense you are using mysticism here(?) but there is a level of seriousness in the Christian mystics which I find more appealing than the Protestant approach.)

I’m in Australia, so it’s probably similar here, the “christian” mystics here are certainly not Christian if measured against the Bible.

Something I have seen all over the world is if the car park is full, chances are the gospel isn’t being preached and people are being entertained.

Our church is focussed on Community, Faith, and Simplicity

I see, I think of Christian mystics as more like Julian of Norwich lol, maybe you mean a more wishy-washy modern spiritualism 'cheistian'. Or something?

Almost esoteric.

I'd probably go as far as saying some UK protestant churches are actually for atheist's to continue some sort of tradition of church going without belief.
