Pluralism

Ah, the topic for tomorrow's Sunday Young Adult's Class. I'm curious to what you all think about this topic. Is pluralism good, bad, or both because it depends? I have my own views regarding it already - but wanted to get other thoughts and since you all don't attend my class, I thought this might be an interesting way for me to garner a larger audience and more feedback. :)

Only a few more classes remaining in my Comparative Worldview and Religion class I've been teaching - after that I'll be starting up approximately a 12-week class on Apologetics. It's material that I've bought from Ravi's organization and it's pretty informative. I really hope that those in the class will gain some good insight on not just a speaking apologetic, but also a living apologetic. This falls in line with the entire concept of being a good Ambassador (which is my soapbox in class - everything I do in class is focused on making us the best Ambassadors for Christ that we can be, that's the reason I even teach my class). To fulfill our role, we must not only have knowledge of Christ and the Gospel, but we must also be able to adequately defend it in the marketplace of ideas. But since we have given up much ground in the public square, we must now find ways to recover ground that has been lost. That begins with having a proper historical understanding of Christian Apologetics and also having an understanding of the pervasive worldviews that currently exist in our culture. How do we engage in meaningful conversation - whether it is in the college classrooom, or the business boardroom - if we are unable to articulate our worldview in a way that is understood by the unbeliever?

Oh boy - looks like I'm starting to ramble...I'll preach on that topic another day. :)
