Recently, Kevin Kelly of Wired magazine discussed the next 1,000 years of Christianity.
There's a summary by Kent Shaffer of what he said on the neoleader blog.
To give you a taste of what he said here's his list of possible future events...some of which might be tongue-in-cheek
  • At the rate that new Christian denominations are growing, there could be 260,000 denominations by 2100.
  • Mormons are growing fast. What if they become the world majority?
  • The Amish are also growing fast. Could the world become Neo-Amish?
  • Around 2050, will be the first time in history where we have doubled the world population but are expectedly to dramatically decrease it.
  • What happens when robots with artificial intelligence say, “I too am a child of God?”
  • Transhumanity
  • With genetic engineering, will we remain one species or many?
  • Wikipedia does not work in theory but in practice. What about Wikichurch?
  • Christianity becomes hip.
  • Purple Christians (a mix of Democrats and Republicans)
  • Islam in Europe
