The bible society of NSW has just done Jesus all about life is to "directly confront the perceived hypocrisy of the Church one hand, and the shortcomings of humanist ideal of self-actualisation on the other." (Quote from their prospectus)
I think this is the church burying it's head in the sand about it's own hypocrisy.
Other organisations don't have the this same problem
People who think Human rights is cool, also think Amnesty International is cool.
People who think the Environment is cool, also think Green Peace is cool.
People who think feeding the 3rd world is cool, also think World Vision is cool.
Even if we were able to convince people of the shortcomings of humanist ideal of self-actualisation there is no way we can convince people that we are not hypocrites. I think it is rather like a political party trying to convince someone they are honest.
We need to look at ourselves first surely???.
