Question: Read Henri Nouwen's The Way of the Heart and Andy Crouch's Tech-wise Family, then write a 3-4 page reflection on the issues they raise. In particular, reflect on the one hand about the ways in which "withdrawal" is sometimes a faithful form of "engagement" with one's culture, and on the other hand about the outsized role of technology in our lives today. How might ascetic practices -spiritual disciplines, prayer, silence, sabbath, solitude, fasting, etc. - relate in creative, constructive, and critical ways to the dominant technological practices of our neighbors, families, schools, and churches? Conclude your reflection with a personal plan or program for your own life: your spiritual habits, your technological habits, and how you might coordinate them in an intentional manner.
