Warren Smith Asks: ‘Can Journalism Save Evangelicalism?’

Evangelicalism is in the midst of a crisis, a crisis that is largely a crisis of authority. The largest churches in the nation are no longer part of denominations. Christian publishers are owned by Wall Street. Historical systems and processes for clergy accountability have become irrelevant.  That’s why independent Christian journalism is so vital today. Christians are supposed to be people of the light, and journalism can be the tool to bring sunlight to the evangelical world.

MinistryWatch President Warren Smith addressed this issue in a presentation titled “Can Journalism Save Evangelicalism?” during the annual meeting of the Evangelical Press Association held April 10-12, 2022, in Colorado Springs.
