Week 4 - Wednesday Class Reflection

Marx's idea that capitalism separates people from the products they produce and, therefore, there own since of identity made me think if there is something the church needs to be wary of here. While I disagree with Marx's theories, I wonder if sometimes the church separates people "producing" their own product of spiritual experience. In other words, we "outsource" our faith to the spiritual "professionals" who spoon-feed us weekly at church - cutting us off from personal experience. We live vicariously instead of intimately with Jesus. We need to be churches that create environments where we never cut off people from being "producers" of faith themselves.
