Wednesday Roundup

Jim,

When I have heard the word empire used, it almost always refers to the United States and not consumer capitalism.

That said, I do think that consumerism is a god that we need to deal with.

But here is a question for those of us in the Emerging Church. We talk of consumerism, but we are also the people that are buy a lot of high tech goodies with iPods and
laptops and all of that. What does that mean?
