I agree with his basic premise that the church needs to understand the current cultural shifts and find a way to meet people where they are. I disagree with what seems to me to be a fairly uncritical acquiescence to the fatal Phil Steigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948892557259431751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309718.post-1097726498216657642004-10-13T22:01:00.000-06:002004-10-13T22:01:00.000-06:00Hey Phil-

I am positive that most intend “postmodern” to connote a general cultural shift in certain directions, and the possible response by the church.<br /><br />I think what I am working through is that, in my opinion, postmodernism is in fact a harmful cultural shift.
