What next, then, for a Christian faith that is being largely abandoned by those countries in which it was once prominent? It seems essential that the churches should pay close attention to what they believe and to acknowledge the harm they cause. There is too much emphasis in the churches on mission at the expense of reflection. An abusive God cannot be wished away. Secular cultures are right to reject him. Their rejection is a sign of moral health. The question is whether any version of Christian faith is now possible.
