As Wokeness goes up, money goes down

Rod Dreher’s blog at The American Conservative provided the sad tale of a Southern Baptist Church collapsing thanks to Social Justice Theology. A Southern Baptist congregation with a statement of faith “borrowed from the Gospel Coalition’s website” was split when the “church got woke.” It is a common story. As a church embraces liberal politics, the church declines.

It is inevitable.

And the Dreher post sums up the church’s decline nicely in pointing out how Wokeness drove people away. In the span of five years, according to the writer, his church went from orthodox to Woke.
