No art? No social change. No innovation economy. (May 26, 2011) | Opinion Blog | Stanford Social Innovation Review

Interesting article. Don't agree with everything but I made two observations: 1. the value of Jesus centered engagement with the creation of creative culture. 2. his "unlock" points sound a lot like practical missionality (minus the Jesus focus).

Tangible Missionality (Colossians 1.6b)

Just reflecting on the end of Colossians 1.6 regarding, praying and living so that others would 'truly understand God's grace'. I started praying for my unsaved friends and contacts and then started praying for people in my church and others believers (family and friends). When praying for those who already know Jesus I was struck that some of them "get" grace and others are pretty immature in their faith and it occurred to me that is the heart beat of being missional: non-discriminating against who is "in or out" but simply pointing ALL people to Jesus.

May we all 'truly understand God's grace'!

"Behind the corpse in the reservoir, behind the ghost on the links,

Behind the lady who dances and the man who madly drinks,

Under the look of fatigue, the attack of the migraine and the sigh

There is always another story, there is more than meets the eye."
