My friend Andrew Dowsett has some excellent thoughts here on why we should focus more energy on culture formation and change than on vision.
This has been one of my own learnings over the last few years but Andrew has articulated it much better than I could so go and read his thoughts here and here.
Andrew lived in Jindalee right near us about 5 or 6 years ago and we got to hang out a fair bit. He’s well worth reading (for an Anglican…) Chuckle… 🙂
I miss the getting to hang out together, mate – though I am thankful that God gave me the gift of being able to do so over those three months. And really, gift is how I see it. Your friendship is valued, even if we don’t get to drink coffee together.
Agree Andrew – but i guess the friendship we share is one reason to ‘cheer’ for the power of the internet. In a bygone era we would have never seen each other again! Great to have your voice in my life
