What Is the Problem with Evangelicalism?

by Thabiti Anyabwile

Several folks at the Gospel Coalition responded to this question (HT:JT).  I wonder what you brothers would say in response.

Here's Mark's two cents:

"For pastors to know and understand what a local church should and can be and for pastors to teach this to their congregations. Much of the blessings and benefits of good teaching in evangelical churches in America goes into the hearts of individuals and then perhaps into the lives of their family and friend but is then largely lost in the sands of American individualism. If the preaching of the gospel and expositional preaching are the glorious founts of life, the local church is to be the bowl, the container, in which that life is caught and held up for display to a thirsty world. That pastors should know and understand and teach this is the most crying need in evangelical churches in America today."
