Low tide isn’t only the portent of a return. Low tide reveals the terrain of the land that the sea has shaped. High tide covers the sea’s effects, but when the tide is low we see things that had before been obscured. In the same way, secularization has revealed Christendom’s effects in a new way. Perhaps the influence of the Jesus Movement has never been more starkly apparent.

Matthew Arnold lived at high tide. The English poet wrote his famous “Dover Beach” when churchgoing was at the flood. In 1851, the national census recorded an unequaled high-water mark in church attendance: half of England was in church each Sunday. But, perhaps prophetically, he could feel the tide going out.

“I call myself a cultural Christian,” said Richard Dawkins on Easter Sunday before hastily adding, “I’m not a believer.” During the ten-minute interview on LBC, he praised cathedrals, hymns and the “fundamentally decent” ethos of Christianity.

It’s been called the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history. Certainly it’s the largest in scope. It’s a story of power, hypocrisy, injustice, technology, and hundreds of “little people” ground in the gears of a callous institution. In brief, more than 700 subpostmasters were unjustly prosecuted for false accounting and theft. Subpostmasters are self-employed business operators with contracts to run branches of the Post Office.

Carl TruemanI think the problem in the United States is that Protestant evangelicals thought they owned the country. And it’s becoming patently obvious, they don’t own it anymore, if they ever did. And the temptation then is to think something’s being stolen from you, that you’re powerless in the face of this act of theft and to despair.
