There's a great Spurlock documentary out there call "What would Jesus Buy". It's about this group of performance artistist/activists. The lead guy is a character called the "reverend billy" who looks and talks like a stereotypical television evangelist, however his message is very different. They call themselve the "Church of Stop Shopping" and thier message is one against the rampant consumerism that is consuming our lives and our culture.
I don't know if these guys would call themselves "Christian" but you know what? I think they get it. When I whine and complain about not knowing what to do about living a life that honors Christ in this American culture these guys have a message that I think really gets me somewhere on this journey, the message?...stop shopping...hey that's a start, really it is.
Here's an interview with Morgan Spurlock at Imago Dei
