Brand Jesus at Christmas

I finally went to my first Emergent Cohort meeting! I have been waiting three months to be able to go. Today we talked with the author of Brand Jesus. We discussed consumerism and Christianity, particularly relating to Christmas.

I have never thought so much about how my buying choices say something about who I am. Just the way that I dress, even if my clothes were given to me, dictate so much about my personality. The world has created a consumeristic culture, even when donating to charity. Everything about the way we live is related to consumerism. Something to think about when shopping....

Interesting, Kyla! I will have to look into this, for sure.
