Listening again to Tim Keller's message from the 2006 Desiring God conference, "The Supremacy of Christ and the Gospel in a Postmodern World." He cites this interesting quote to summarize the changes that's taken place over the past 50 years:
"There is a fundamental schism in American cultural, political, and economic life. There’s the quicker-growing, economically vibrant…morally relativist, urban-oriented, culturally adventuresome, sexually polymorphous, and ethnically diverse nation…and there’s the small town, nuclear-family, religiously-oriented, white-centric other America, [with]…its diminishing cultural and economic force…. Two nations…"
--Michael Wolff, New York magazine, Feb 26 2001, p. 19.
