Abstract

In December 2015 I posted a blog about a sitcom in which a Dad, dressed as Olaf while entertaining little children at a birthday party, accidentally exposed himself when his tights tore in the crotch. I asked, especially the 20-30 year olds, if they found this disturbing, because it bothered me. I also then asked, “What does holiness look like in 21st Century North America?” I heard back from several people via comments on the article and on Facebook.

The comments were helpful, so thank you for thinking with me on this. They were also varied and caused me to wonder at a deeper level about my own reaction. It took me some time to sort through my thoughts. I don’t know if I’ve figured it out – of course, I haven’t – but here is the next part in the conversation about culture and holiness.
