HRG 1.6 Is it really that urgent? (Keith Howard)

6. Based on study of Dave Gibbons, The Monkey and the Fish.

Throughout the book runs a deep sense of urgency. Take this quote (p. 36)

“The church has an amazing opportunity to become what God is hoping we will become. It’ll take the resculpting of our organizations and corporate culture, the incubation of new art forms, new languages and expressions, new symbols, flexible ways of being organized and led, and even a fuller explanation of what we know as the gospel ... We need creative forms, methods, and practices for sharing the truth we love and believe in that will work in the new world and with a new generation. We need fresh counterintuitive ways of leading – in practice and in philosophy.”

Do you think that sense of urgency is warranted?
