What they don't realise is that the Church is not necessarily supposed to be in step with society. In fact it follows God, if society does too, then society is in step with the Church.
Otherwise, if The Church had always tried to be in step with society, then in the 3rd - 6th centuries it would have been Arian, in the 11th-12th Gnostic, in the 1800s Christian Scientist or Jehovah's Witness.
Right. My reference to New Age being old hat was aimed at "New Ideas" regarding tarot cards, astrology, divining, and so forth. I completely agree with your conclusions.
