In part 3 Dick Staub comments on the Emerging Church Movement and cautions these new Churches on how much they embrace relativism. He goes on to encourage Christians to press being authentic and therefore become relevant. If you haven't checked out his latest book I would recommend it as a great current resource: The Culturally Savvy Christian: A Manifesto for the Deepening Faith and Enriching Popular Culture in an Age of Christianity-Lite. Staub's concluding section of the book focuses on some highly important issues Christians need to embrace and some practical tracks to run on to implement the following. He exhorts Christians to be counter culture as Peter tells us to be aliens in a foreign land. As Paul tells us to be ambassadors Staub reminds us how we are to communicate in today's culture seasoned with salt and delivered through proper awareness. Lastly as being created in the image of God we have creative abilities to offer and minister to the world not just mimic current shallow art.
