"The emerging Church is a part of cultural change, but it also challenges the priorities of culture in the name of a liberating and humanising grace and challenge from God that is truly revolutionary. I can see Western Christians coming to shed the straitjacket of consumerism and passivity, for instance, finding a more intentional discipleship in the way they live, work and pursue relationships. They will be assisted by transformed institutional and leadership dynamics in the Church, and their vision will be enriched and reinforced by a renewal of liturgical life."
