Mark Sayers “Superflat faith pt 1″

Mark Sayers who is one of the leaders at the Red network, and writer/producer? of “Something about Paris” has started posting again after a years absence.

“Firstly, in our culture any serious discussion about the big spiritual and existential issues of life are off the agenda in the public sphere. Secondly, western culture is a spiritually flat culture in which, our need for mystery, transcendence, revelation, and a sense of the other is repressed. And thirdly our culture is a culture in which everything in life is viewed through a lens of suspicion. The combination of these factors present us with never before experienced missional challenges, they also behind the reason so many Christian young adults are choosing to leave active faith. But more on all of that next time……”

I think Mark is on the money. His reflections are often very pertinent for Christians who wish to engage their culture.
