Episode 66: Consumerism and Death, a conversation with Dustin Messer
Dustin’s opening line to his article on Breakpoint is striking:
The Telegraph caught my eye last week: “80 percent decline in religious funerals as mourners opt for golf courses and zoos over churches.”This rising phenomenon of un-traditional funerals speaks to the rapid decline of religious observance in the West. The non-traditional funerals are just one example of the ways in which marketers are succeeding in their efforts to become the new priests of Modernity.
Christians give some thought to the living, but has Christendom forgotten how to deal with the dead? In this interview, Pastor Brito interviews Pastor Messer on the implications of a culture that treasures the body in the now but gives no attention to the body in the after.
