Ruth Valerio, Churches and Theology Director for A Rocha UK spoke today at City Gate Church on ‘Christianity in an Age of Consumerism’.
Every Christian in every generation has to work out what it means to be a follower of the way of Christ in their particular culture; for us, that is our globalised, consumerist world. These powerful forces shape our lives, our thinking and our world view, and have serious impact on the global poor and the health of the planet. Ruth reflected on the call to justice and wisdom, and how we can live both gently and joyfully on the planet and with each other in the 21st century.
Ruth joined us during our morning meeting at 10.30, followed by a hearty community lunch in the Brighthelm Cafe and an afternoon discussion of further questions and answers.
