I am interested in what it means to translate or map the concept that, Innovation is different to adaption, to the idea that church seeks a paradigm shift. adaptation tweaks what is already present, it is part of series is of evolutionary moves. innovation goes back to the drawing without pre subscribed ideas. I have written before on the need for revolution over evolution but I wonder if all the emerging churches talk of paradigm shifts are really just adaptations as still haven’t gone back to the drawing board of who or what is G-d and then really innovated from there.<\/p>\n
I came across this poem via a friend of a friend that may help you get where I am coming from<\/p>\n
Have you considered the possibility
\nthat everything you believe is wrong,
\nnot merely off a bit, but totally wrong,
\nnothing like things as they really are?
\nIf you\u2019ve done this, you know how durably fragile
\nthose phantoms we hold in our heads are,
\nthose wisps of thought that people die and kill for,
\nbetray lovers for, give up lifelong friendships for.
\nIf you\u2019ve not done this, you probably don\u2019t understand this poem,
\nor think it\u2019s not even a poem, but a bit of opaque nonsense,
\noccupying too much of your day\u2019s time,
\nso you probably should stop reading it here, now.
\nBut if you\u2019ve arrived at this line,
\nmaybe, just maybe, you\u2019re open to that possibility,
\nthe possibility of being absolutely completely wrong,
\nabout everything that matters.
\nHow different the world seems then:
\neveryone who was your enemy is your friend,
\neverything you hated, you now love,
\nand everything you love slips through your fingers like sand.
