The average fundamentalist cares. Do evangelicals care?<\/p>\n

In spite of recent interest in the fundamentalist question by Mark Dever and his ministries, doesn’t it seem that the interest is more of an amused curiosity rather than genuine interest?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As evidence, where is there ongoing discussion of the Dever-Minnick interview? Fundamentalist sites or evangelical sites?<\/p>\n

Dever himself made a follow up post<\/a> to the interview on the 9Marks blog. Who participated? Mostly fundamentalists and ex-fundamentalists.<\/p>\n

Is there any serious follow up? Not so as you can see<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then there is this from the latest 9Marks ejournal, under ‘Events’:<\/p>\n

CCCC 2008 Annual Meeting<\/strong><\/a>
Buffalo, NY<\/em>
<\/strong>July 21 to 24, 2008
Mark Dever<\/em> <\/p>\n

Worship God 08<\/strong><\/a>
Gaithersburg, MD<\/em>
<\/strong>July 30 to August 2, 2008
Mark Dever<\/em><\/p>\n

The CCCC professes to be a theologically conservative organization, but they allow for the ordination of women<\/a> (pdf) if individual churches want to do it. And they don’t think much of charismatic gifts<\/a>, but if you think it’s ok, just don’t bring it to our annual meeting…<\/p>\n

And the Worship God 08 conference? Well, just go over to their site and check out some of the music.<\/p>\n

So who is interested in separation?<\/p>\n

Should we be optimistic of any real change coming from the conservative evangelical side?<\/p>\n

I’m not holding my breath.<\/p>\n
