I attended tent meetings in my youth, and I remember the sawdust, along with many other sights 
and sounds of those services.  The memories are pleasant ones.  I cannot recall ever being
bored at a tent meeting..
I have spent a good part of my life working with other evangelicals who have been dedicated
}to correcting some of the defects and excesses associated with the religion of the sawdust trail.
This has been time well spent.  But I've also begun to worry lately that in our criticisms we have
lost sight of some to the good things.  I'm convinced it is healthy for the evangelical movement
to keep smelling the sawdust....
