Sorry for the confussion Phil.
What I wondered or questioned is many people say due to post modernity there is no overarching meta narrative but I was questioning this assumption and think the metanarrative may have been replaced with a new overarching story that is mosaic of popular culture. eg in the past people found their place by how they related to the meta narrative of the time and now people find their place in relation to pop culture, ie we use it to help us interact with one another, people define themselves by the latest produce or band or music they adhere to. So whilst the metanarrative is less clear there is commonality to it. Does that make sense?

A CO-OPERATIVE LOOK AT LIFE, MISSION, EMERGING CHURCH AND ALL THAT
Yeah. It does make sense. I like the idea of the mosaic – think that might be helpful. I’m intrigued by the idea of defining ourselves in relation to pop culture. I’m not sure if its that accurate. Perhaps it is. Perhaps I just don’t want it to be, cos its a bit of a scary thought…
