  9. “If the mall and its “parachurch” extensions in television and advertising offer a daily liturgy for the formation of the heart, what might be the church’s counter-measures? What if the church unwittingly adopts the same liturgical practices as the market and the mall? Will it then really be a site of counter-formation? What would the church’s practices have to look like if they’re going to form us as the kind of people who desire something entirely different—who desire the kingdom? What would be the shape of an alternative pedagogy of desire?”

  35. The Framework and Culture.

  36. The Framework and Culture. “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”

  37. Humility.

  38. Humility. “Many movements built in truth failed because the energy powering them was ugly.” Fr Ronald Rolheiser, The Holy Longing

  39. Consistent Teaching.

  40. Consistent Teaching. Both pastor and worship leader.

  41. Prayerful Exploration.

  42. Prayerful Exploration. "When the forms of an old culture are dying, the new culture is created by a few people who are not afraid to be insecure."  

  43. "...those who endure are those who are not attached to outcomes.  They don't seek security in plans or accomplishments.  They exchange certainty for curiosity, fear for generosity.  They plunge into the problem, treat their attempts as experiments, and learn as they go.  This kind of insecurity is energizing;  people become engaged in figuring out what works instead of needing to be right or worrying about how to avoid failure.  Whenever they discover something that does work, there's a huge rush of energy, often accompanied by laughter.” Margaret Wheatley

  44. The way we worship becomes the way we believe, which becomes the way we live.
