Based on study of Dave Gibbons, The Monkey and the Fish.
One of the fundamental convictions in this book is that the church is
now immersed in a world that is undergoing some profound changes. One
way to view the place of the church in this changing world is to use the
language of culture, where culture refers not to ethnic origin but to a
complex of language, customs and beliefs.
So hospitality – and perhaps all ministries – now becomes an intercultural or cross cultural enterprise.
For example, the interactions of those born before 1948 with those born
after 1980 are not just conversations between younger and older but
between members of different cultures.
Do you think this is true?
To the extent that it may be true, what are some of the implications for us at Oak Bay United?
