Submitted by Mark Van Steenwyk on March 7, 2006 – 12:17 pmView Comments

If you live in the Twin Cities, you are invited to a discussion about consumerism in America and how it relates to the Christian faith. The meeting is this
Thursday, 9 pm at O?Gara?s in St. Paul. We meet in the south dining room. Jeff and I will be leading the discussion. Hope to see you there. This is a sort of mini-warm up for the upcoming conference.

It went well. I think we all realized the far-reaching effects of consumerism on our ecclesiology.
