A pastor I had as a child in the Lutheran Church moved to Chicago last year sometime. Tom Lyberg, or Pastor Tom as we called him. He is a good guy, really challenged by the Gospel these days. He is drenching himself in popular culture- a postmodern mentality, music especially seems to be his focus. After pastoring in my hometown for around 6 years- mind you i am from a very small religious town- he moved to Chicago to try and develop a way to share the Gospel that is meaningful to folks in the postmodern generation.
Here is an article about some things he and other pastors have been trying at their churches. The article made it on the front page of the Chicago Tribune. Here's the link: U2 Eucharist Article
I am interested in hearing what anyone would think about this. I think it's pretty cool- and brave to step out of molds. Pretty sure that's what Jesus did.
