From Representative to Participatory

The story of the 21st century? The shift from representative to participation, and the resulting formation of a new epistemology (new way of knowing). The hungers of the heart may be the same as ever. But the people of this emerging culture have brains wired differently than most preachers and people in the pews.

Reality TV illustrates the shift from representative to participation. Like it or not, reality TV is here to stay.
