Up to the 1960\u2019s, the church was successful in influencing the culture and Christian values dominated the culture but the church has allowed itself to rest on its success and the world\u2019s values have spread throughout our culture. As a result, the church has declined from a position of dominance in our culture to where it is now considered irrelevant by much of society. If it is to influence our culture, it must restore the functions that were so effective in influencing the culture before the 1960\u2019s. In \u201cThe Church in the World\u201d, I examined the changes that have effected the church. In the \u201cChurch in the 21st Century\u201d I deal with those functions and how to restore them.
