It stayed on my shelf til recently, when I thought it could be helpful in light of changes at church and in society. It was very helpful, as you can tell!<br /><br />Matson, I'm glad you're part of our church family--your tech savvy along with your thoughtful mind and disciple's heart are great gifts.

Hopefully I can carve out some time to read 'Fickering Pixels' myself.<br /><br />However, based on your post alone I can see several interesting themes emerging. For example, if you accept that our society is becoming an increasingly 'on-line' one which is divided more and more equally between the real and virtual worlds - spread out over time and distance - Does this suggest that a new form of Christianity will also emerge? <br /><br />What I'm reacting to is the statement, "If oral culture is tribal (Catholic) and literate culture is individual (Protestant), the electronic age is essentially a tribe of individuals (Something Else ??)"<br /><br />The key issue though is how to manage and utilize all these tools - How do you create the time to stop and reflect VS react and act? What sort of mentality is needed to preserve yourself and your relationship with Christ in an increasingly noisy world? Will the role of the church shift to providing quiet sanctuary or continue to focus on alternative activities to counter secular activities?Matsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751262639732819012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26519755.post-90563847988239349882009-10-09T04:49:43.202-06:002009-10-09T04:49:43.202-06:00We interviewed that Hipps dude when we were starti...We interviewed that Hipps dude when we were starting North.
