Here is a quote by Michael Horton, who is a professor and reformed theologian speaking on the church's response to the cultural shift we find ourselves in today:
This general trend in culture [Postmodernism] translates into hipper-than-thou clubs passing for youth ministry, informal chats passing for sermons, and brazen marketing passing for evangelism, where busyness equals holiness, and expository preaching is considered too intellectual. This trend can account in part for homes in which disciplined habits both of domestic culture and instruction in Christian faith and practice give way to niche marketing and churches becoming theaters of the absurd.
All I can say is wow. I sure as hell hope that this is not what I am doing with threenails (the community I am involved in)...I don't think it is, but man does it force you to think about the ways you can tighten up in whatever you are doing.

i think the full flower of post-modernism has yet to bloom. modernity took about 300 years to really unfold, following the publication of Leviathan. given that post-m is still trying to understand non-foundationalism in a helpful, rather than negative way, it may be a while before anything long-standing and constructive comes of it yet.
