Evangelism - a wing & a prayer

It's a very Christian word, from a Greek root, and the meaning apparently has to do with spreading the good news, with "Good News" being synonymous with the Gospel.

Personally, I think the best evangelism is doing the work of the angels and not just trying to convert people.

No, I don't believe in the existence of supernatural beings with big fluffy wings. I'm stained with Christian metaphors from my upbringing, and that's what I tend to draw from when using the English language, which is not just stained with this religion but thorougly dyed by it.

The topic of evangelism makes me somewhat grumpy and critical (more than usual). In the event I am feeling more...even tempered about the subject, I'll post again.

Incidentally, The Membership Journey begins with throwing terms at the reader like evangelize & proselytize. The terms are appropriately examined and teased, thank God.
