Promoting the Consumerism Conference促进消费会议

The upcoming即将举行 conference on Christianity in a Consumer Culture会议上，基督教在一个消费文化 is coming together quite nicely.  In addition to having走到一起是相当漂亮。此外，有 Ron Sider罗恩sider , ， Sondra Wheeler sondra惠勒 , ， Rodney Clapp罗德尼clapp , and ， Vincent Miller郑海泉米勒 coming to be our main speakers, we have a number of breakout session leaders like来是我们的主要发言者一样，我们有一些外逃会议的领导人一样， Ryan Torma瑞安torma from自 Spirit Garage精神车库 , ， Kevin Rains凯文下雨 from自 Vineyard Central葡萄园中央 , ， David Fitch朱惠誉 from自 Life on the Vine Christian Community生命的葡萄基督教社区 (and author of （作者 the Great Giveaway伟大giveaway )…plus a number of others. ） … …再加上其他一些。 I mention these folks in particular because they are all church leaders and have blogs to which I link.  We’re having folks from other walks of life as presenters as well).我提到这些乡亲，特别是因为他们都是教会领袖和有Blog ，而我的联系，我们遇到了乡亲从其他各界人士的生活，作为主持人，以及） 。

But I need your help getting the word out.  We don’t have a very large promotions budget.  Our good friends at Emergent sent notice of the conference in their latest email newsletter, and a few bloggers are helping get the word out, but we need more help if we’re going to have the 200+ registrants needed to pay for the thing.但我需要你们的帮助越来越字出来，我们并没有一个非常大的促销预算，我们的好朋友，在紧急发出通知，会议在其最新的电子邮件时事通讯，和几个博客正在帮助获得一词，但我们需要更多的帮助，如果我们要去有200 +登记需要支付的事。 Please help if you are at all sympathetic with the aims of the conference.请帮助如果您是在所有同情，会议的目的。

Why should you care?为什么要你照顾？ Well, if you’ve ever been frustrated by the ways in which consumerism and the consumer impulse make it hard to be Christian in this country or hard to do church in a way faithful to Jesus, then you know that consumerism is a HUGE problem that must be addressed by Christians.  And, if you’re like me, you’ve felt powerless and unsure of how to respond to the consumerism and materialism in our churches.  This conference is designed to get a bunch of excellent thinkers and a bunch of excellent "doers" in the same room (though most of our folks are a bit of both) to work through how we as Christians can live our faith out in this consumer culture of ours–a culture that makes it very difficult to live out the Gospel call.那么，如果您从未感到气馁的方式，其中消费和消费者的冲动会让你很难被基督教在这个国家或很难做到的教会的方式忠实于耶稣，那么你就知道，消费是一个巨大的问题必须正视的基督徒。此外，如果您和我一样，您觉得无能为力和不确定如何回应市民的消费主义和历史唯物主义在我们的教堂。这次会议是专门设计，可让一群优秀的思想家和一群极好的“人中”在同一会议室（虽然我们大部分的乡亲都有点双方的）工作，通过我们如何作为基督徒可以活出我们的信仰在这方面的消费文化，我们的-的文化，使得它很难活出福音的呼吁。 Rodney Clapp makes the case even more eloquently in罗德尼clapp使案件更是雄辩地在 a recent interview近日接受采访 . 。
