Christians, Ketchup, and China: An Identity Trip
Saturday, 1:00pm | Workshop
As a Hotdogger, Steve Ray traversed America in a 26’ hotdog on wheels. Amidst the many adventures, wildly diverse audiences would gather around the Wienermobile to enjoy the experience. While preparing for a trip to China, Steve observed a similar shared experience forming half way around the world. This time people weren’t uniting over a weenie on wheels; instead, the Chinese were latching on to Christianity; so fast, that in 15 years China will become the largest Christian nation in the world. While Chinese Christians develop a clear identity, how do the growing number of religiously unaffiliated Americans see themselves? What if- as the first mass multi-cultural democratic republic the world has ever seen- we could create a compassionate American identity? If a wiener whistle can unite America, so can we. It’s time to adventure through the spiritual revolution of America’s emerging generation.
