This coming semester at the Ottawa School of Theology and Spirituality I will be delivering a course introducing North American Evangelicalism. I am hoping to do this through historical moments and stories, looking at the formative American evangelical identity that grew out of the revivalism of the Great Awakenings and following the windy tale to the religious nones and dones of our day. The interesting part, for me, is that no matter where we find ourselves in Christian (and sometimes even secular) spaces the shadow of this evangelicalism is not hard to find.
