“What we need in this day is precisely what God has supplied his church in every age, what Stanley Hauerwas has called “the capacity for dissent.” It’s the capacity to resist the attractive but destructive narratives at hand because “you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God ” (Col. 3:3). We know the great periods in which the Holy Spirit empowered a fresh proclamation of Christ by the people’s marked capacity for dissent. At the heart of that capacity is the overwhelming power of the Christian story to transform the story of our life [emphasis CCS]. This alone renders the dominant alternatives not simply wrong but uncompelling by comparison” (Michael Horton, A Better Way: Rediscovering the Drama of God-Centered Worship, 51).
