Zombie Evangelism

Weekend Fisher:

If I were to start an evangelism campaign among the children of the Age of Apathy, I think I might start with the zombies. They are the personifications of the apathetic age.

Hat tip to Kevin Knox

Modernist thinking in a world of post-modernity.

I would not mistake disillusionment with apathy. People have seen the church and the church has failed on so many levels: war, poverty, greed, etc. People are not apathetic towards the church, they are upset with the church.

It is possible they are both.

I think I've preached to a couple of those people (I mean, zombies) before.

Is there some subculture of zombie aficionados that I'm not aware of? They seem to appear on your blog fairly frequently.

Suggestion: Don't wear your "I Love Zombies" T-shirt when you appear before the BOOM.

It's part of my schtick. Like the rabbit thing.

Schtick is important in the world of blogging, I've discovered. Zombies seem to be a good schtick as they fit nicely into several categories of metaphors...like the Board of Ordained Ministry (with an important exception, of course).
