Culture As Liturgy

Culture As Liturgy

Christians engaged in cultural renewal need to be cognizant of how cultural practices viscerally shape our desires. We are shaped by the cultural spaces we inhabit and the cultural habits we practice. Unless we realize what subliminal messages these cultural liturgies are sending, we will be unaware that they are drawing our hearts to an alternative and un-Christian vision of the Kingdom. This lecture was given as part of the Gospel & Culture Lecture series featuring James K.A. Smith.

Challenging the Darkness – Towards a New Christian Renaissance

As we discuss how the church can engage an increasingly post-Christian culture in the west, it is helpful to take a step back from our own times and historically examine how Christianity has dealt with cultures that seemed implacably opposed to it. Christianity was never expected to convert the Roman empire; nor was it expected to convert the barbarian tribes after Rome fell. Yet, it both cases it succeeded despite the odds. Similarly today, Christians must hold onto hope for a revival in the modern west. This lecture was given as part of the Gospel & Culture Lecture series featuring Os Guinness.
