"Author Barbara Kingsolver writes that rather than buying into the 'love it or leave it' approach to the groups with which we affiliate, a more honorable slogan is 'love it and get it right, love it and never shut up.' This, I believe, is the function of evangelical expatriates. These expats have renounced their citizenship in evangelical subculture, but not their faith. They have ventured out into the wider world, but they remain interested, and often emotionally invested, in their culture of origin. They have become skeptical of how the church manifests its witness, but also dedicated to calling it back to its truest expressions." (>>)
