No, I'm not referring to Mark Driscoll's hangout. In fact I find naming a church after a centre for the exchange of ideas slightly odd as the church's job is surely to proclaim just one idea - that of Christ Jesus and him crucified. Anyway, that's an issue for another day!No, I am referring to a modern day Areopagus (Mars Hill) namely Google. A place where the employees "spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new" (Acts 17:21) ... or so it seems! On a regular basis one hour plus long lectures are posted on the @google Talks YouTube channel. Authors, musicians, politicians, philosophers, businessmen etc. It is a true centre for the telling and hearing of all things new. Many of the participants are people who massively influence much of our culture today and so it is well worth subscribing to if you seek to be culturally relevant.
Some of my favourites have been; Christopher Hitchens, Slajov Žižek, George Soros and even Tim Keller, author of "The Reason for God", who you can watch below.
God bless.
