I am reading a very interesting book called "Liquid Church." It is a bold vision of how to be God's people in worship and mission--a flexible, fluid way of being church. The book discusses how the church can embrace the liquid nature of culture rather than just scrambling to keep afloat while sailing over it. The author urges us to move away from the traditional notion of church as a gathering to the dynamic notion of a series of relationships and communications. Liquid Church is continually on the move, flowing in response to the Spirit and the gospel of Jesus, the imagination and creativity of its leaders, and the choices and experiences of its worshippers.
I will post more as I finish the book.

Another book, Liquid Modernity, addresses the shifts in some of the large social factors that define our identity and shape our relationships with one another, such as individuality, time/space, work and community. Bauman notes that the world is speeding up for some people whilst others are becoming immobilized: of what on the one hand seems to be "progress" and on the other seems to "annihilation of human care. He is very clear about the problems this causes and offers guidance about some possible ways ahead.
