Category talk:Evangelicalism

Category

This is a separate category from Christian fundamentalism and evangelicalism. Not all churches meet both definitions of evangelical and fundamental. One example is the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It does not subscribe to strict Biblical inerrancy, but rather a more 'liberal' view of qualified inerrancy. Both fundamentalism and evangelicalism call for separate categories. Robbie Giles 15:05, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

Moved over from Robbie Giles' talk page

There has been a lot of discussion on the talk page for Category:Christian fundamentalism and evangelicalism to split that category into each of its two component parts, but apparently no one (including me) wanted to take the initiative to do all the re-categorizing work. Seeing that you have created this new category, however, if you're in the mood to crank on this project, I invite you to consult that combined category as a raw source and go through to decide whether each article within it needs to be moved into one, the other, or both of the two new, more specific categories. I'm sure others of us will pitch in, but we are in need of willing elbow grease. --Gary D 20:54, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

Well, I can at least get started. I will be writing for the evangelicalism article over the next few weeks based on the 19th century historical aspect of Evangelicalism. I will do a bibliography as well. Then I will place my 'argument' or 'thesis' on the discussion page of Cf&e and Ce to have separate categories. If it doesn't fly, we can always go back to square one with the joint category. Let me get going on Ce before changing Cf&e. -- Robbie Giles 21:31, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

Heck, there's no need to tack your theses to the church door, Mr. Luther, we were all pretty much agreed the separation was probably a good idea; we were all just too lazy to do it ourselves, LOL! --Gary D 23:55, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

A P.S. on category titles: User:One Salient Oversight was talking about the category titles, "Fundamentalist Christianity" and "Evangelical Christianity" rather than "Christian fundamentalism" and "Christian evangelicalism", so that if/when we eventually split up the other double category, Category:Charismatic and Pentecostal Topics, the two new categories could then be "Charismatic Christianity" and "Pentecostal Christianity" as part of a consistent overall naming system, since none of us has come up with a suitable noun form or "ism" form for the adjective, "Charismatic". --Gary D 23:55, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

Definition?

This category is a mish-mash of things under different definitions of the term and so isn't as useful as it could be. Rmhermen 21:45, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Messy

I put up a (very) basic definition, but this category needs some attention. Perhaps a separate category for evangelical groups & denominations, and one for theological topics & persons of importance within the movement (not Kirk Cameron, for crying out loud). KHM03 22:26, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
