God's terminal illness — which Harrington believes is not being stayed by the so - called
evangelical movement or other manifestations of a
renewed religiosity — has given rise to other liturgies which are not as well developed as that of what Hegel called revealed religion.
«This thing» to which he refers began in the 1990s when a group of young
evangelical leaders initiated a conversation (they still prefer to call it a «conversation» rather than a
movement») about
renewing the church for mission in a postmodern world.
