Christian Smith Quotes
Because Evangelicals View Their Primary Task As Evangelism And Discipleship,1 They Tend To Avoid Issues That Hinder These Activities. Thus, They Are Generally Not Counter-cultural. With Some Significant Exceptions, They Avoid "rocking The Boat," And Live Within The Confines Of The Larger Culture. At Times They Have Been Able To Call For And Realize Social Change, But Most Typically Their Influence Has Been Limited To Alterations At The Margins. So, Despite Having The Subcultural Tools To Call For Radical Changes In Race Relations, They Most Consistently Call For Changes In Persons That Leave The Dominant Social Structures, Institutions, And Culture Intact. This Avoidance Of Boat-rocking Unwittingly Leads To Granting Power To Larger Economic And Social Forces. It Also Means That Evangelicals' Views To A Considerable Extent Conform To The Socioeconomic Conditions Of Their Time.
