Every so often a television show comes along that can be seen as a metaphor for the church. A generation ago it was "Cheers." Today I think it is "Lost." No. Seriously. What other program illustrates such an attempt to live in community? Sometimes I think the whole series is about the process of sanctification.
We've been watching Season 3 of "Lost" on DVD. Last night we watched episode entitled "Left Behind." This series has a lot of religious allusions and connections.(That title, for instance, certainly wasn't an accident.) Some are laughable, like when Kate says she had to learn about the saints in Sunday school...
