Why the geeks have inherited the earth

This looks like a whole wheelie-bin of fun!

My friend Dave Taylor is giving three seminars titled "Engaging with Pop Culture: why the geeks have inherited the earth" at L'abri on 8th August, examining how pop-culture functions as a type of state religion for western culture.

What? A day seminar in three parts:
• 10 am - Lecture 1: Pop-Culture - Corrupting, cathartic or cohesive?
• 3 pm - Lecture 2: Pop-Culture as Religion - Why the geeks have inherited the earth
• 7pm - Lecture 3: Pop-Culture and Apologetics - Saint Paul goes to Hollywood

When? Saturday, 08 August 2009, 9:30 am - 9:00 pm

Where? Australian L'abri, 10 River Rd, Elderslie, Sydney

How? Lunch and dinner will be provided and overnight accommodation is available if you get in quick. Please bring $20 to cover costs.

Are you spiritual?

Dave posts some excellent reflections on our (mis)use of the term spiritual(ity) and suggests that all of life is spiritual.

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." - Colossians 3.17
