Wow. James, you must read "Consuming Religion" by Vincent Jude Miller. There is a quote on p.39 almost identical to this one, exploring the shift of the home from the center of production to the center of consumption.
Sad.
this is especially true in a poor neighborhood.
james, aren't you (and your family) coming to visit the stetlers soon?
