Murray On American Methods

But the shift to post-Christendom, already evident in many urban areas across America, may occur a generation or two after Europe, but with similar consequences. Either way, uncritical reliance on American models of church, techniques of evangelism and approaches to mission will be of little help to Christians in post-Christendom. Recent experience of imported American programmes and strategies suggest these often raise illegitimate expectations and distract us from what needs to be done.
