Mark Scott, Managing Director of ABC (Australia’s government funded public broadcaster) addressed Re:Thinking, a Christian conference conducted in Sydney.
He offered his perspective as a Christian on the place of Christians in society.
“Get over it, really. Christians are outsiders. That is the fate of outsiders in communities,” he told the crowd at the Re:Thinking conference in Sydney this week when asked how Christians should respond to public attacks on the faith.
Scott said Christians need to embrace being on the outside, and model their behaviour in the public sphere on Jesus and the early church.
Pointing to the massive global market for Christian music, blogs and media, Scott—himself a Christian—also warned of the dangers of retreating into a Christian bubble.
“What we’re really seeing is the rise of the echo chamber, where you select the media experiences that reinforce your worldview and your experience,” he said.
He argued that since the rise of on-demand media catering to niche markets, people are less exposed to ideas different from their own, and can easily fall into the trap of only listening to voices which affirm their pre-existing views.
