Paul Kingsnorth wrote an article for First Things, making an argument against the idea and reality of Christian Civilization. We in the Ghetto thought it merited a response.

Fairly shortly after Paul Kingsnorth wrote the following piece:

…it engendered a response among the guys in the Ghetto. We all took some time to read and digest it, celebrate Christmas and New Years, line up our schedules, so as to have a discussion on this piece. If it were any other author, we might have ignored it and moved on. But, we all respect Paul as writer and a thinker. We appreciated his conversion story as well as his deep dive into the technological problem and modernity. But, as much as it pains us to do this, we had to push back with some force. It was not a great piece and needed a robust response. That is what we did. We have tagged him here in the hopes that this discussion might reach him. We would love to have him on to dialogue on the subject and explore more where he is coming from and see if our critiques engender some re-thinking of his own position. Its an important discussion and we hope you will enjoy it.
