One of the problems with characterising Evangelism as of the **[R]ight semi-circle is its emphasis on singing and dancing.


One answer to this *** is its own O[uter] C[ircle] rotation, presumably since its birth as Calvinism and similar movements around 500 years ago;**** but it is also worth pointing out that when Evangelicals sing and dance they do so, on the whole, very clumsily, with none of the dedication of the Artist – their dedication being in no sense to Art, but to their faith – with all the outward grace, in fact, of carousers at a rugby club dinner.#


It may seem churlish not to allow them the dedication to God, in their dancing and singing, which they profess, but that begs the question which can never be answered: what exactly is the quality of any other person’s relationship with God, acknowledged or not?

****roughly!


#(often surprisingly musical, for rugby players)
