The Rabbit Room

[Editor’s note: About a week ago, Jen Rose Yokel wrote an invitation to all Rabbit Room readers to participate in our very own Rabbit Room book group. In anticipation of Andy Crouch speaking at Hutchmoot this year, we will be delving into his book Culture Making, a wonderful conversation-starter about that timeless question of how to be a Christian in the world. Click through for an excerpt of Jen’s original invitation. Culture Making is available here at the Rabbit Room Store.]

“What is it, exactly, that we are called to do in the world? Are we called to ‘transform culture’ or to ‘change the world’? If we are to be culture makers, where in the world do we begin?” – Andy Crouch, Culture Making

This summer, let’s explore those questions together. The Rabbit Reads Book Group returns August 6th with Culture Making by Andy Crouch, this year’s Hutchmoot keynote speaker. Originally published in 2008, Crouch’s in-depth exploration of culture offers a stirring challenge that has plenty to say to our world of 2018.

Laure Hittle and I will be your hosts as we discuss the meaning of culture, the role our Christian faith plays in it, and how we can make something beautiful and true of the world we’ve been given.

If you missed our previous reading groups, here’s what you can expect. For six weeks, we’ll read Culture Making together. Each week, we’ll share a reflection here on The Rabbit Room blog, then offer a up few questions for discussion in the blog comments. We have also set up a thread on The Rabbit Room Forums for longer conversations that you can access by clicking here.

Here’s the reading schedule (subject to change):

• Week 1 (8/6): Introduction, Ch 1-2
• Week 2 (8/13): Ch 3-5
• Week 3 (8/20): Ch 6-8
• Week 4 (8/27): Ch 9-11
• Week 5 (9/3): Ch 12-14
• Week 6 (9/10): Ch 15-16

Culture Making is now available in The Rabbit Room store. Order a copy today, and we’ll see you on August 6th!
