Post 12 (11/9)

In preparation for Bishop Graham Cray, a prominent leader in the missional church movement in the United Kingdom, Dr. Bolger went over some background figures and notes so that we could be better prepared for his lecture Wednesday. One thing that hit me was the sense of a Consumer Society--a society that becomes so personalized, everything is tailored for one person. Your shopping, your health care, your faith, and more will all be personalized. Cray says the U.K. will be personalized in all ways be 2020. With this, you feel a lack of community, and it allows individuals to be just that--they can become disengaged from any long-term commitment to a society.
