I always attributed this disconnect to my general
frustrations with modern evangelicalism — that it's been hijacked
by the Republican Party, that it's in a perpetual state of defensiveness and «wartime» posturing, that it has closed itself off to science and independent thought, that it has lost
sight of the message of Jesus regarding the Kingdom of God, that it has become commercialized and shallow — all the things we «emergers» like to write books and articles about.
