2 Peter 1:15-2:10a (for background read Matthew 17:1-8) speaks to the struggle in our denomination. A priest from the Orthodox Church of Belarus told the General Assembly of the PCUSA that he was seeing attempts to invent a new morality and “those attempts to invent a new morality look for me like attempts to invent a new religion, a sort of modern paganism.” But this is hardly new — thus I would call it “the new-old paganism.” No summary of this sermon will do it justice, you should listen.
