The leading edge of the whole culture

“The gospel of Jesus points us and indeed urges us to be the leading edge of the whole culture, articulating in story and music and art and philosophy and education and poetry and politics and theology…a world-view that will mount the historically rooted Christian to both modernity and postmodernity, leading the way into the post-postmodern world with joy and humor and gentleness and good judgment and true wisdom. I believe we face the question : if not now, then when? And if we are grasped by this vision, we may also hear the question: if not us, then who? And if the gospel of Christ is not the key to this task, then what is?” N.T. Wright
