cultures chrétiennes ou post-chrétiennes

My comment:

I appreciate Jane's very well-thought out answer, and I like Claude's too. My suggestion is a mélange of the two, agreeing with Jane's point that this is discussed from a purely Christian position (as opposed to other world religions). As she says, it's church, not mosque or synagogue...

culture marquée par la pratique religieuse (chrétienne)

My comment:

Mais attention, c'est quand même chrétien...

My references:

Kennon L. Callahan makes a case for a transition in America during the 1980s to a predominantly unchurched culture.
Callahan defines a "churched" culture as
"a culture marked by the presence of a persistent, pervasive, major feeling among the people that the church is important"
(Effective Church Leadership. San Francisco: Harper & Row, 1990, p. 8). In an
unchurched culture people no longer feel
that the church is important.

This term captures the reality that a majority of Americans are not churched. Some of the non-churched were once churched, but have left the church for one reason or another. Others, an increasing majority, have never been churched. Once we see that the loss of the church's influence in our society is not a direct result of our culture's worldview shifting from modernism but is a function of the decreased participation in the church by a steadily increasing majority of Americans -- that we are a post-churched, not a post-church, culture -- we can go about the task of planting churches that effectively engage the non-churched through Word and Sacrament ministry which transcends all cultures and cultural shifts.

>Hard to translate "cute" phrases such as this. I agree. And it's not so much 'cute' as a perfectly good phrase reworked into a new meaning.... ;-)

Yes, not even sure of it in English. The thing is churches are not synagogues or mosques!
