On Sunday, April 19, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship's Graduate & Faculty Ministry in Central PA partnered with Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ in exploring Culture Making and launching the Central PA Christian Scholars Network.  Below are links to audio files from two of Crouch's presentations.  Comments (including criticisms/misgivings) and reflections on Culture Making are welcome, particularly since I'm writing a review on Culture Making for Brethren in Christ History & Life. 

From the Garden to the City (Sermon)

Culture Making (Sunday School)

BTW, here's what two InterVarsity Christian Fellowship alumnni serving with the Brethren in Christ thought of Crouch's visit:

Followers of Jesus struggle with culture. Sometimes we try to escape the culture and other times we ‘consume’ culture too readily, to use one of Andy’s terms. To partner with InterVarsity’s Graduate & Faculty Ministry and host Andy Crouch offered our church a unique opportunity to delve deeper into questions about culture. It also provided a chance to facilitate great discussions between graduate students, informed laypeople and Christian scholars in the area. Thanks to Tom Grosh for making it possible.-- Steve Lane, Senior Pastor of Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship - University of New Hampshire alumnus

I've never before heard a sermon that began in Genesis and ended in Revelation, as Andy Crouch's did; but what perception! He took themes from his book, Culture Making, but set them in a different framework, which is how good ideas ought to expand. I appreciated the way that you [Tom] and Pastor Steve Lane worked to allow Crouch to come to Elizabethtown. –- Bob Ives, retired Senior Pastor of Grantham Brethren in Christ, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship - Drexel alumnus
