Hand-Clapping in a Gothic Nave – Christianity Today Magazine:

“Recently media have paid much attention to two distinct religion stories. One is the surge of global Pentecostalism. The other is the visibility of mainline Protestantism in U.S. culture wars. Yet the two stories rarely connect, and for good reason.

Pentecostals and mainliners generally glide around each other like icebergs passing in the night. Over the years, Pentecostals have viewed mainliners with deep skepticism, judging them theologically lax and culturally spineless. Mainliners, for their part, have viewed Pentecostals–when they viewed them at all–with disdain, judging them theologically primitive and culturally unwashed. No one took prisoners.”
