My Thoughts on the Last Class...

November 11, 2009

The Professor brought up the point of "place and space." In most cultures—sharing place the physical place and space,the social engagement, was the same. We as a culture have been stretching in space over time through newspapers, phones, etc –we are now sharing social engagements by connecting with someone who we are not sharing ‘place’ with. We are sharing "space" with someone across the world ie. email , internet, phone, etc and not necessarily sharing "place" with them. We are also separated by time as well as space…and now time is almost meaningless…we can connect in seconds. We need to understand how our culture is changing and adjust to it. Instead of seeing "places" reached with the gospel maybe we need to see our NETWORKS or "spaces" reached with the gospel. Such as in a night club, cafe, or a group of friends we hang out…etc We need to have a radical change in thinking…
