NBW meets CNN

I think the most helpful thing Nadia Bolz Weber says in a brief interview on CNN is this: “The people in this church are participants, not consumers.”

I am convinced that we are living ever more deeply into cultural surrounds permeated by digital technologies that make it possible to be a participant in, or even a creator of, various media. Once you have "tasted" that spark of creation, why would you ever settle for passivity in church?

We need to find more and more ways to invite people into participating in the mystery of God's love in the world. Kudos to the House for All Sinners and Saints for exploring one path for doing so.
