Every church has boundaries; every church should let visitors and their communities know what they are by making them readily available. What is happening... is simply cultural accommodation in a bad way. Church growth experts are telling churches that most Americans don’t like denominations and encouraging them to re-name their churches with generic names (e.g., Faith Family Fellowship) and omit any reference to any denominational affiliation or distinctive beliefs and practices. In most cases, the churches that do it keep their denominational affiliations and/or distinctive practices but hide them. In my opinion that is nothing other than cultural accommodation involving an element of dishonesty. As we have all heard, lying is not just telling an untruth; it can also be neglecting to tell the truth. - Roger E. Olson
