One of my favorite writers,Alan Jacobs, wrote a punchyreview of Brian McLaren’s new book Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices.

And with the help of Tony Campolo, Rick Warren, and a number of others, taking a hold of the older generation was also quite easy. Our present political scene is the aftermath of these...
