Bluetooth Church, Pastor Marshall McLuhan



I knew it was inevitable.

Adam Calwell won the caption contest for this striking photo with this entry.

My fascination with it is it's a sign of the times. McLuhan (prophetically saw the theological implications of technology becoming an extension of the body; anda phenotype of mind)and Toffler predicted that technology would eventually morph with our clothes and bodies. The church cannot miss the cruciality of this shift ..

What does it mean? I've only begun the conversation with the title to this post, and the McLuhan quotes to ponder here.

Guten Tov! Carpe Manana!
