@ Shift: Breakout 1 w/ Brian McLaren

A Postmodern Conversation

1 Peter 3:15-16

Just because we disagree we should handle it with gentleness and
kindness

Brian starts with the history of the world

The Modern World
-The Earth is not the center of the galaxy
-The Great Chain of Being is no longer

Themes of Postmodern
-Conquest runs into Conservation
-analytical turns into post-analytical
-objective changes to intersubjective
-critical into post-critical
-secular and spiritual live together
-consumerism into sustainability
-print literacy turns to digital fluid

Then we go to Q & A
So here are the best questions (I think)

-How do I make Life work in this fast changing world?

-How do get past the definition of post-modern?

-how do deal with gender issues in a post-modern world?

-can we get past our world views and get to truth?

-How do we go from simplicity to complexity back to simplicity?
