Upside to the Death of 'Christendom'?

A public theologian is suggesting there's a silver lining to the end of Christendom and the uncoupling of church and state powers.

Craig Heilmann says that Christianity's declining influence in Western politics is moving the Church closer to Jesus' missional ethos of changed hearts and relational transformation.

Dr Heilmann and Andrew Urquhart consider whether Western civilisation's Judeo-Christian roots have generated a 'cultural Christianity' that masks a lack of genuine conversion, agreeing that societal transformation is best achieved by winning hearts and culture, rather than political polls.
