This is the first I'd heard of there being a trend of being fifteen years behind.

As long as there are local churches still pretending that fifty-year-old methods are the only way to get things done, his observations will be timely. I'm curious: why do you think it is, as you said, that UUs don't have ears to hear? You make me sad.
