- W2513200418 abstract "According to John’s Gospel, Jesus prayed to his Father on behalf of his disciples on the night before his death. A few verses from the account of this prayer may help focus our attention on what has proved to be a slippery problematic indeed, namely, secularization. “They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world” (John 17:16-18 NRSV). In David Marshall’s ambitious book, Secularizing the Faith: Canadian Protestant Clergy and the Crisis of Belief, 1850-1940, he intends to show (in his own words) that “the dominant trend in Canadian Protestant history from some time during the Victorian era has been the accommodation of the clergy and churches to a society growing more secular, not a march of progress towards the Kingdom of God.” He goes on to discuss two of the main denominations in Ontario of the time as, one supposes, indicators of this national Protestant trend. And he finds what he thinks are powerful indicators of this sweeping trend. The question of whether the church becomes too cosy with the world, whether it sells out its identity and mission to an identity and agenda constructed elsewhere, is a perennial and important one. Answering it requires historical and social scientific analysis. I suggest today, though, that it requires more than that – and probably more than most scholars are prepared, at least as scholars, to offer. In brief, I suggest that defining and determining “internal secularization” requires theological" @default.
