    I enjoyed the article and agree with it, mostly. I am not familiar with the author, Mr. Friedmann, but have to wonder at his choice of words in this phrase; ” to work it out in a radical following of Christ”. What is a modern day radical following??
    I grew up in an ultra-conservative group.The people he was describing as living thier faith in “quiet or in secret” would be describing most of my people I grew up with, as most of them would not understand the plan of salvation or could not relate to a new birth experience.
    However, with so many people and pastors from the present day nominal Christianity, spouting from the ghetto’s to the mega-churches, when you find a born-again, spirit filled, devout Christain living the life of modesty and simplicity, is still a huge drawing to the seeking people of the world.
    To the deceived half-hearted people claiming to follow Christ, the genuine Christians look foolish and self-righteous. But the Holy Spirit in these genuine Christians is felt and the “quietness” can be very reassuring for folks who have been bombarded with all the modern day rhetoric. I was one of those people that was attracted to the quiet but “real” Christians, and have appreciated the non-resistance that I’ve felt and experienced in these folks.
    Some of the individuals and/or groups of “plain people” that I’ve come out of, are much more combative in their daily lives, politically and other-wise, with a number of them being very anti-government at times, in thought and deed.
