The much harder question for us to consider as 21st Century Christians in an overwhelmingly individualist culture is, “What must a community that places scripture at the center of its life look like?”

A couple of years ago I was invited to contribute a chapter to an edited volume on a Netflix series called Black Mirror. Each episode of Black Mirror is a stand-alone story of speculative fiction that is set in a near-future dystopia and utilizes science fiction technology.

Scripture and tradition are not just two approaches to interpreting the world as Episcopal Christians; they are deeply intertwined.
