Reflections: Chapter 1 - Barker

One thing they can take away from this first chapter is the important fact that 'culture' isn't stagnant, but rather constantly moving and changing. Although this may be a known fact to churches, they are constantly expecting people to conform to the 'Christian culture' instead of adjusting their methodology or even practices to reach the cultures existing outside the church walls. Hopefully, church leaders will be more aware of the ever-changing world and encourage others to take time to understand this as well. This way, as a church we will be able to approach our unbelieving friends, family, co-workers and whoever with sensitivity and wisdom.
