Sometimes I think that too
Grandma continues to slowly drive down the parking lot row and my gaze catches on a group of five students chatting together. I can’t exactly explain it, but they look like my kind of people. Like under the right circumstances, I might have enough courage to walk up and say hi.
Taken together, Renewalists grew nearly four times faster than both the Christian population and the world population from 1910 to 2010. As a result, Renewalists at the time of this writing made up between 25 and 30 percent of all Christians. In 2010 Latin America had the largest number of Renewalists in the world (especially Brazil), but Africa was close behind and may soon take the lead. The region in which Renewalists were growing the fastest was Asia. The five countries with the most Renewalists were Brazil, the United States, China, Nigeria, and the Philippines.

Protestantism also spread in Korea. In 1960 one in twenty Koreans identified as Protestant. By 2010 that number was one in four. In 2020 Korea was home to five of the world’s largest churches, the largest of which, Yoido Full Gospel Church, began in 1961 and was believed to have 800,000 members in 2018.
Carey took up the five objections that people raised against missions to heathen lands: their distance, their barbarism, the danger that would be incurred, the difficulties of support, and the unintelligible languages. One by one he answered these. The same obstacles had not prevented the merchants from going to distant shores. “It only requires,” he wrote, “that we should have as much love to the souls of our fellow creatures, and fellow sinners, as they have for the profits arising from a few otter skins, and all these difficulties could be easily surmounted.”
To spread their views, the Oxford group launched in 1833 a series of Tracts for the Times, brief publications that gave rise to the label Tractarians. In these writings the Oxford leaders published their convictions on a single article of the creed: belief in “one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church.”
As an ideal for the church of England, they held up the church of the first five Christian centuries. It was there, they said, that the Christian church was undivided and truly catholic. They called themselves Catholics, on the ground that they were in agreement with this early catholic Christianity, and they shunned the name Protestant because it referred to a division in the church.
Naked as paper to start
But in twenty-five years she'll be silver,
In fifty, gold.
