How Canadians Can Save the American Church

I just ran across this link from Darryl.

Earl Creps thinks Canadians can help save the American church.
We're in trouble down here....The American church is desperately in need of help if we are going to have any reasonable chance to do mission among Pre, Post, and Semi Christians in emerging culture. Some of that assistance might just come from north of the border. ...

Could the Canadians light the fuse on the next great awakening? I don’t know. But I think we should find out.
Interesting spin on challenge we all face -- trying to incarnate the church in our own setting. I've lived on the states side for about 9 years, 4 of them involved in ministry. It is a different culture, more open to institutions, hero figures, and christianity. Canada is more pagan and less interested in church institutions. People in Canada have been trying to figure out how to be followers of Christ yet part of the institutional church. A growing number of people are leaving the church to try and save their faith.

The culture here in Canada is different than the US, but we are all trying to figure it out. Let's learn together.
