A reader writes: a new story that gives meaning to the world

I ran across this on Alternet (http://www.alternet.org/visions/everything-we-tell-ourselves-about-america-and-world-wrong?akid=9884.280025.9UBg01&rd=1&src=newsletter769265&t=3&paging=off / The subtitle of the story is “Why we need a new story that gives meaning to the world.”
When I saw this, I immediately thought about you.
“When a story nears its end it goes through death throes, an exaggerated semblance of life”.
This certainly explains a lot of what is going on in the church and Western culture.
