Generosity and (or vs.?) consumer culture

We were talking about consumerism in class today, in part sparked by the catalyst of a provocative Jonathan Porritt video (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B1F42B1D1E0763A1). Given that discussion, I am eager to share that the Rocky Mountain Synod of the ELCA has written — and published on the web for free use — a lovely set of workshop materials oriented towards generosity.
