Technology insures that the amount of information offered increases as fast as the available response time decreases. Ideas that once seemed beyond question are now up for grabs. New alternatives to formerly unquestioned convictions raise doubt among people used to a much firmer footing. Judgement is reserved for the time being as people find themselves unwilling to choose between a multiplicity of options. The confidence of these preachers doesn't match the people's own experience.
Preachers arrogantly deny the obvious complexity.
They are caught out of their time, anachronisms dangerous to the fragile psyche of a world which has lost its confid ence. Or so it is assumed. In fact, many preachers struggle with the same lack of confidence as the people in the pew. Choosing between the variety of worldviews available in a multi-cultural context would require some favored vantage point from which objective evaluations could be made. Unfortunately, such an exalted viewpoint is denied.
