If you like to read things that have multiple layers; that although 20 years old are still very influential and relevant (for better or worse); and have an interest in the conversation regarding the church's place in society... check out: http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=110 .
I will tell you up front, Stanley Hauerwas is very prevocative, and persuasive and makes several good points in his diagnosis. He is a famous Christian Ethicist, and professor, recently elected the new president of the Society of Christian Ethics.
However, I personally have numbers of problems with him and the ramifications of his arguments in the article as a Lutheran Christian.
A question to consider after having read the article, "does God meet us where we are?"
