When love comes down…

Solar Crash: Love Comes Down
by Chris Luk Photography

Solar Crash: Love Comes Down
Collaborative art project responding to “What must love be” by Claudia Hung

What can I say?  I think it was another phenomenal night!  Of the many projects I’m on, the Solar Crash events are definitely one of my favorites.  I’ve written a few thoughts on creating these spaces before here and here.

Some additional reflections…

I intentionally halved the number of performers and artists from the last event and it created a tighter more focused evening that was just as enjoyable

I loved when random people came up to me wondering how on earth something like this comes together

There’s nothing like people from all sorts of backgrounds, cultures, and faiths coming together to creating something beautiful, even if momentary

People keep asking me if I’m an artist, I love writing, but I’d say my craft is more in helping unleash the creative potential of others

I did a once-in-a-lifetime spoken word piece for my wife that night (totally out of my comfort zone)

It was awesome being able to meet in person many people that I had been networked through facebook

Hearing the rumor… “I think he’s a pastor…”

Toronto is brimming with undiscovered creativity

Fastest growing churches…?

by Lon on November 17, 2007

I just stumbled onto Outreach Magazine’s annual “Fastest Growing Churches” list.

Here are the official stats in pdf form.

Now I haven’t looked in-depth at this list, nor am I really in any place to say anything like this – but here were two thoughts that came up

1. Would God make a list like this? (well, course he wouldn’t because he’s God and he should know better)

2. Is this really a list of the fastest growing churches, OR is it mostly a list of churches that refuse to send people out to plant more churches?

I could be WAY off base here, but it’s getting late in the night…
