Conference on Christianity in a Consumer Culture
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : September 13, 2005
Two Things:
- The new conference website is up (I didn’t point it out sooner because I was blog-fasting).
- We are actively seeking presenters–both academics and practioners.
Please get the word out about these things. I’d really appreciate it if you could link to the conference website too. Here’s some banners for the site you can use:

Christarchy! is a growing network of small groups for people who want to put the ethical teachings of Jesus into practice.
Submergent is a network of leaders who, embracing the Anabaptist impulse, are living into the Kingdom of God in a postmodern, post-colonial, post-Christian world. Together, we will re-baptize the Christian imagination!
Anchored in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis, Missio Dei is committed to following Jesus' way of peace, simplicity, prayer, and hospitality.
The Missio Dei Breviary includes morning and evening prayers for one month. Edited (and freely shared) by Missio Dei, it draws primarily upon the Gospels, reflects Anabaptist convictions, and emphasizes missional commitment.



I definately plan to promote your conference at e-Church.com; you can also expect to get a presentation submission from me…I think this is the one of the most interesting issues facing American Christianity right now.
FYI: by the way where the conference is being held is not completely clear on the web site. I know the travel/lodging is not there–but I could find no reference to where it is being held…presumably in Twin Cities?
Tim,
Thanks for pointing that out…it is in Minneapolis. I’ll fix the website.
