Christ of Consumerism

In the closest step I’ve seen toward Landover Baptist Church becoming a reality, a BBC show (Heaven and Earth) has done a story about a church in Dallas that includes shops, a food court, and other things that resemble a mall. For it’s blending of American Consumerism and Isolationistic, Evangelical Christianity this is an example of Christ of Culture. I wouldn’t believe it until I watched the story.

This church is attempting to create a world where its members can coexist without the rest of the world. But rather than avoid the world like Christ Against Culture might do, they are re-creating a church in the image of a mall. This goes far beyond anything “seeker-sensitive” I have ever seen before.
