Christianity and consumer culture

I just noticed an ad in Sojourners magazine for a conference that’s going to take place in Minneapolis this coming April 28 and 29. The deadline for papers is December 15, and I find myself actively considering suggesting one. The conference title, “Christianity in a consumer culture” has also a subtitle, “The consumption of faith, the faith of consumption” that I find intriguing. I don’t know anything about the sponsors, but the speakers list (Rodney Clapp and Vincent Miller, among others) is interesting. Maybe all of us who care about these issues could converge on this conference?
