Evangelicals Trade One Uniformity for Another

Is it possible that America’s evangelical churches have merely traded one form of uniformity for another?

One of the criticisms of the old model of churches driven by denominational identity is that they were all the same. Whether located in a large city, rural hamlet or small town, you could walk into a Southern Baptist church anywhere and feel pretty much like you were in a Southern Baptist church anywhere else. The hymnals were the same, the curriculum was the same, even the bulletin covers were the same. Pastors came from the same seminaries and learned from the same textbooks and commentaries.
