Rex Miller Comments
I recently posted on a comment author Rex Miller made during a podcast with Blogging Church. He saw my post and left some comments about the future church that I thought were worth reposting (with his permission). Rex is the author of the book The Millennium Matrix. I haven’t read it yet, but it is in my Amazon cart. I will pick it up soon.
“We’re coming to a time (5 years +) where infrastructure (buildings etc) will put many at a disadvantage. The cause of the shift:
1. The first generation raised on interactive media will come of age (Wired Mag puts the tipping point at 1995).
2. Second - the 71million baby boomers will begin to fade with the next generation 42 million stepping. That will create a huge (HUGE) hit on the economy.
3. Networked models will gain and put vertical models at a disadvantage.
Cohesion will come from relational structures (one growing alternative is the rise of social networks). It still gets down to F2F relationships, serving and community.”
