...what I've done is treat the Church as a design problem - take things apart, look at the pieces, see if they can be assembled in different ways, respond to emerging contexts, imagine alternative futures to aim for. It's playful in the sense of exploration without commitment to predetermined outcomes, (which would prevent genuine breakthroughs). This is very different from the Church's tendency to fix its forms for theological reasons. Churches often assume that they already have the right forms, having found out what God really wants. But I think God wants to play. [Steve Collins, from 'Curating Worship' by Jonny Baker] NEW 12.2011: Pecha Kucha Greenbelt 2011 20 slides, 20 seconds each slide [August 2011]
