Abstract
Patterns in the practice of religious faith have changed dramatically over the past century. Western world church attendance is in rapid decline, especially among youth and young adults. A common complaint is that churches fail to connect with contemporary culture or be relevant to everyday life. Young adults commonly seek freedom and adventure in travel, experimental lifestyles, relationship choices and the latest thrills. Yet they still often like to connect with some concept of the sacred, as long as it does not restrict their life choices. Mark Sayers’ expertise is in analysing popular culture from a Christian perspective. He is co-founder of Über, a consultancy organisation that offers analysis, resources and training on youth and young adult spirituality. As a Churches of Christ pastor he is the senior leader of Red Church in Box Hill, Melbourne, Australia, and speaks and teaches widely on consumerism, Gen-Y spirituality and the future of the Church in the West.
