like orthodox christianity. christians are going to have to prepare to suffer for our faith. we should think of ourselves as being like the hebrews living in exile in babylon. fifth, we christians are going to hold on to our faith and pass it on to future generations, we're going to have to radically change the way we think and the way we live. christianity will either become a way of life for us, or it will cease to be at all. and finally in this regard, the benedictine monks who emerged out of the collapse of the western roman empire in the sixth century offer an example for all of us lay christians,, catholics, protestants and ethan orthodox, to use, an example to use communities within which the faith can survive this dark age coming upon us. so that's the basic outline of "the benedict option." the option part comes from the final paragraph of the philosopher allister mac and tires classic work act of virtue. virtue. mcintyre compared our time and place to rome in collapse. mcintyre wrote, the crucial turni

and by the cross, i don't here mean just a shorthand for christian identity or christian theological ideas or theological moral norms. by cross i mean the actual place of the skull outside of the gates of jerusalem. by the cross, i mean what the apostle paul meant when he wrote at corinth, i deliver to you as a first importance in which i also received that christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures. that is what i think is at the best of what is sometimes called a gospel-centered resurgence happening with evangelicalism, especially among younger people. i think that's what the movement aspires to be. an application of the gospel, not merely as the steps it takes to be converted to christianity. although that is certainly part of it. but to the whole of the church's self-understanding and the grid through which the church interacts with the outside world. when the apostle paul wrote in the first century that he knew nothing among the churches except christ being crucified, first

it sounds like some is evangelical christians become christians again. maybe how you would differentiate some of what you would suggest? >> i would probably affirm almost everything that rod would affirm in the benedict option but i would not deny everything that he denies. i think largely i'm in great sympathy with the benedict option, but as an evangelical christian i cannot resonate with a monastic imagery applied to the entirety of the church. if one thinks in terms of coverage design the cover i blurbed the book and am happy to do so and recommend it to many people. the picture on the front is sort of a fortress on a hill. i agree with that. i want a big flashing neon jesus saves on the outside. >> is this on? >> can you describe a vision of a society evangelicals can embrace? >> i think we have seen that vision at least in my specific tradition within evangelicalism. i have referenced the early baptist movements in the united kingdom and in the united states in which there was a commitment to complete and total freedom of religion not because those

of the christian right want to restore a christian nation and symbolism and wall. i don't think they thought about how to live in a pluralistic society. that's my point. there are a lot that are thinking about this. the st. louis wall professor and goes in the traditiothose in the thought deeply about this. the association of evangelicals. how do we live in a pluralistic society in which our deepest differences are respected? i think the christian right -- i talk about this in terms of the dog chasing the bus. they've been chasing the bus the last 30 or 40 years but they haven't thought about what they are going to do when they catch the bus. what do they want, do they want a ten commandments in front of every single city hall, a so there hasn't been a full way to think about the engagement with people of other faiths but they seem to want no part of it. >> i was in the audience at the panel and it takes a while to get me all the way to georgetown. i was excited about that. you talk about the attention between nostalgia and the history. but so much of the authorita

most extreme forms, this kind of market-driven christianity became something christianity all together, as in the case of the gospel.d prosperity his project though is decreasingly possible in a culture.zing american and as even on its own pragmatic a kind of equires culture christianity in which eople believe that the church will contribute a positive good in hem or to their children a way that simply is increasingly not the case. when a culture believes that the hurch supplies something missing, then someone will seek out the church. sec u larlized northern american culture care clergy person would recommend structuring their family life. culture seek h a out a family friendly congregation if they don't see part urch as a necessary of their child's life in order to be a good person and to be a american. why would such a culture listen o a minister about how to succeed in life and business? when thespecially true american marketplace now supplies no shortage of life marriage and family consultants and spiritual but not religious gurus. of the same futility is true the perpetual call t

christians the scene of jesus christ and resurrection. and for muslims. of the prophet mohammed to have been. this could be one place jerusalem. visitors to jerusalem cannot help but be overwhelmed by the city's history and its religious significance to muslims christians and jews but this beautiful city is also a tragic one fought over for centuries and coveted by millions who've never set foot in it jerusalem is the focus of an ongoing and seemingly irresolvable conflicts. everything here is overshadowed by politics even that most basic of things food. it may be at the heart of israeli palestinian conflict but it's easy to be influenced by the old city of jerusalem its bustling markets and vibrant street in life. but inside its walls tensions are never far from the surface. and history is a dimension of the present. you'll see his sign such as this commemorating the recent anniversary of the six day war of one thousand nine hundred sixty seven. when israel gained control over all of jerusalem. claiming to have reunited the ancient jewish city. but there

[cheers and applause] but i'm also a person who is humble in her faith. i don't claim to know the wisdom, i don't claim to have the wisdom to know what god has in store for me or for other people. what i do know is that god has blessed america with greatness and with goodness. and i know that in the dangerous world we live in, it is absolutely critical for america to stand up and have the backs of our friends, and to stand strong against those who would do us harm. [applaus [applause] >> it if the united nations spent its time relentlessly attacking, japan, australia or the united kingdom, i would stand up for them, too. [applause] i would do that because they are america's friends and it's the right thing to do, but that's not what happens. 18 months ago, i was given the assignment to represent america in a place that relentlessly attacks israel and i was sent there at a time when america had turned its back on israel. so, it

i bet you wish you were there, christian. it looks beautifullj know christian.ke that, i have to say. that is quite extraordinary. it was even busier little earlier. i was in heathrow airport last night, french fans were standing around the television two weeks of delight —— two words of delight before they had to run off for a flight. here are the pictures. here they are, look at that.” for a flight. here are the pictures. here they are, look at that. i had a son in croatia last night and a daughter in paris, so i couldn't lose either way! but i think it was my daughter who had the better evening of. there they go, team members on the bus. talk about heroes right now in paris! and that photograph, i don't know if we have that one, the flyover... look, they did the whole thing perfectly. the flyover of the artistry of all stop —— over the opted real. flyover of the artistry of all stop -- over the opted real. one of the outliers was wrong on saturday for bastille day, but much better today. there is the team on the bus, fabulous scenes. my son went to a french s
