Fragmentation

Sunday I preached a sermon on being an intergenerational church (here). The more I read about pop culture and it's addiction to smaller and smaller market segments, the more aware I become of what an incredible challenge (and opportunity) this is for the church. Today I came by this article from the Boston Globe talking about that very thing. As our culture focuses more and more on the things that make us different, the church will have to focus more and more on what makes us the same and find creative ways to share life together, even if we belong to different market segments.
