Description: "The Gospel and Our Culture Network (GOCN) is a network of Christian scholars, pastors, and church leaders who attempt to look at North American culture from the perspective
of the Christian gospel. The Network has formed out of an awareness that the role of the church, and of Christianity in general, is changing dramatically in North American culture. Old paradigms
are breaking down, and we need to explore fresh visions for what it means to be the church, and what it means to bear witness in our rapidly changing situation. For details on publications
and activities, reference the website at www.gocn.org." Recommended by Earl Creps. (Posted
