Reg Bibby just dropped this into my inbox this evening. It is his latest analysis of where the church is headed in the next few years. Bibby is Canada's leading sociologist of religion and is well known for his trenchant and challenging analysis of Canada's religious landscape.

It is downloadable and free.

A Call to Action

Has anyone read Fifty Shades of Grey?  Have you noticed a strange change in your community this spring/summer with relation to the general population's reaction to this online trilogy?

Has anyone noticed a return to the early 90s when everyone was playing "spank" and walking around with their hands on their tails as if they had just been spanked?

This is a very interesting and challenging book by Bruce Sanguin.  As a person with a science background pushed by the demands of  teaching to keep reasonably current on what is happening in science,  Bruce effectively links developments in science to rethinking our understanding of God and of the message that Jesus offered.  Is there anybody else who has read this book that would be interested in co-hosting a discussion in this thread?
