Having seen the decline of standards, morals, hope, I find this work very uplifting. Perhaps the pendulum is starting to swing back to normalcy. Coppin’s columns deserve wider exposure and appreciation. She is an amazing observer for our times.

Thank you for sharing this. You do a fantastic job weaving together data and studies, along with compelling narrative work and analysis of cultural influencers. And the recommendations are great.

Fantastic! Love the cross-referral between online culture (especially the new right's search for meaning) and how the gospel predates and transcends it. Reminded me about what CS Lewis said about Spiritual Nature always being served.

Great call to action too. :D

This is a fantastic summary of the situation. Just one thing I would add - you recommend some resources for official theological study. I suspect that there will be a turn against formal theological education in favour of being self-taught. R T Kendall recently came out and admitted that if he had his time over, he wouldn't go to seminary but instead would be self-taught. I could be wrong but many of us see University as mostly a scam to be avoided and with so many online resources available, I think formal theological training at an institution will lessen.
