Question:
Has anyone heard of the Mega Shift Movement in the Church that was planned back in the 1960's as a slow change - also now known as Open Theism?

Re: Mega Shift Movement
I'm familiar with Open Theism. I haven't heard of the Mega Shift Movement, or at least not by those terms.
I'm not a proponent of open theism, but I have a lot of respect for Greg Boyd who is someone who is an open theist.

Re: Mega Shift Movement
Back in my college days doing research at the Colorado State University Library, in the Social Science section, I accidently came across a small book written in the 1960’s early I think? I do not remember the name. It dealt with the blue print for major Mega Shifts that need to happen in order to implement a socialist change in the USA.Canuckster1127 wrote:I'm familiar with Open Theism.

First was to weaken morals of society through media and control media, Next, infiltrate universities, schools, military and government at all levels – a megashift in politics. Third, a megashift devalue the family, and infiltrate church leadership to program younger generations. The last was forecast to begin by 1995 and is the one that stuck in my mind:
Megashift in Evangelical Thought – an Open Theism – by step by step erosion of faith in God and megashift faith to mean working for noble social justice causes thru the state. There needed to be a religion, the state can use to control for the noble good.
The book was either entitled something about Megashifts or Decade Trends. 10 to 15 year cycles beginning 1965 to change America’s way of life. Small 6’x 4” book about 60 pages. Looking back, it made an impression on me as I watch the first three MegaShifts occur and now seeing the third, delayed a bit and now about halfway through.
That is why I bring it up. Maybe someone knows what the title of that no-longer published book is?
How is this evangelical megashift influencing people today was what I was wondering and its effects of theology?

There is more out there than I can search on this topic. If anyone can find the Mega Shift Trends used in the Social Science field would be helpful too.
