Wednesday, May 11, 2005What's Driving Today's InnovationsThis is a fascinating article which very much reflects where I was trying to get to with the Big Conversation in Derby. Four Innovation drivers were idenitified: Customisation Participation Incarnational Community Relationship Here is a quote: Leonard Sweet noticed how superstar band U2 (and lead singer Bono) changed their act in response to this. "U2 used to use big screens and technology to create an extravaganza. But they repented. Now Bono's stage pierces into the middle of the audience, and he draws from a palette of 45 songs by interacting with the crowd. A U2 concert is not about performance any more, but about relationships, about people there helping to shape the event itself. I also liked this from 'emerging worship': Many modern churches make "doing ministry with excellence" a core value ... but "excellence" is not a core value in emerging churches. If it lacks authenticity or is too perfect and polished, "excellence" can actually go against teh grain of emerging churches values. And this from "Reimaginging Spiritual Formation": Our worship gatherings are not meant to be shows or concerts. They are designed as interactive experiences. We invite participants to join in, share what they have, and take a piece of what those around have to give. Article link from TallSkinnyKiwi Posted by: Mark | 9:12 am |
