"Are meditation, silence, introspection missing from the western Evangelical or Protestant Church sometimes?
Yeah, definitely. Which is why I think one meets more and more folks who are trying to get back to that."

The problem western Christians have with meditation is cultural, not religious. They've unthinkingly bought into the modernist point of
view which is totally materialistic. When I taught at Messiah, at least once the parents of a student complained to the Dean about some
imagining exercises I did with Acting students. I was using "meditation," which was clearly not Christian. Such is the stupidity of certain evangelical Christians who don't even realize that it's THEIR viewpoint that's not Christian.
