Strung Out Episode 122 AROUND THE CAMPFIRE WITH PASTOR DREW (Part One)

Send us Fan MailPart one of a two-part series, Martin talks to Pastor Drew Jacques about a recent CBC podcast in which Mary Hynes interviews British author Julian Barnes about his recent book and the notion of "what would the world be like if Christianity didn't exist and Paganism won?"  Drawing from that question Pastor Drew argues that to some extent, true Christianity, the teachings established by Christ, does not exist.  That the Church took some twists and turns, not only with theologians like St. Augustine and St. Paul, but when the role of the Christianity turned from being "Galileans" into the official state religions.   Thus, other faiths and even Christian sects (along with culture) were destroyed in the effort to consolidate power for the state.  These decisions are starting to catch up with the church as people are turning away from the institutional church, which for the most part has been free of the trappings of state for some time now.   Will the church as we know it survive or is it part of a much needed makeover?  Tune in. Support the showWe are always grateful to have you listening to STRUNG OUT.    Here are some important links:SUPPORT THE SHOW:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/MartyfineaKMARTIN'S WEBSITE:http://www.MARTINMcCORMACK.COM  (note---you can get my weekly bulletin when you sign up on the list!)MARTIN'S MUSIC: Music | Martin Laurence McCormack (bandcamp.com)Martin McCormack | SpotifyMARTIN'S YOUTUBE CHANNELMartin McCormack - YouTubeFACEBOOKFacebook...
