Now more than ever before, people have access to pick,
choose, and customize the communities in which they take part. The communities stream together in a Confluence, and
individuals wade in the water. That reality is not inherently good or bad, but it does have real consequences that influence how individuals regard themselves, how they regard each other, and how they see the role of community fitting into
their lives.
The Confluences direct effect on the Church is clear. The Church is a community that has something to say about
personal identity, as well as how people view and interact
with the world. The Island in the Confluence explores how individuals, community, and the Church interact in Western culture. In doing so, it gives practical ways to faithfully live out the life that Jesus has prepared for his people.
