I came across this question that was asked by Tony Morgan to David Gibbson who is the pastor of Newsong in southern Calif. I thought the answer is mind blowing. What do you think?
TONY: You are a futurist. I’m always challenged by thoughts about what’s next? So, what’s next?
DAVE: Tribalism will increase. Uprisings especially among the poor in the world. Potential global economic depression. Further devaluation of the U.S. dollar. Terrorist attack in a major U.S. city. Rise of brilliant theology emerging from the third world, rooted in pain, suffering, collaboration and beauty. More church layoffs and downsizing yet at the same time greater clarity for the church. Scarcity brings clarity. North Korea wall falls. Eastern art, design, film and music will become increasingly a major force in culture. Instead of the church focused on one form or style of church (multi-sites, organic, emergent or whatever), it’s about multiple forms, hybrids, mergers, questions. China, Southeast Asia and India will continue to grow in economic, military, religious and political influence and strength. Greater eastern influence in western culture and conversations. Third-culture leaders will continue to emerge as the next generation of global, movement leaders in the arts, business and religion.Read more: "TonyMorganLive.com" - http://tonymorganlive.com/#ixzz08tTUopnF
