Hey sam
i’m a little slow on this but I was there and thought it would stinging.
at the south Sydney Regional council last night it was put on the table which is a good start. I even heard that St Mark’s DArling point (hardly a bastion of refomred and missional radicalism) is using some of the Driscoll stuff for their PC planning.
and some of the old guys are listening too- they know we need to reform structures.

I also heard that only 10% of people come away from a conference and do anything about it whilst over 70% forget it and move onto the next fad within a month. the other 20% wait for others to take the lead. interesting.

i’ll post on how I am responding to these challenges

Hey Luke,

It’s only embarrassing if it’s true.

Personally I think Soph and I are not too bad on culture. I think our church Christians in the Media is better than most when in comes to engaging with culture too.

But I honestly despair at how little many of my friends at college know about the world that they live in, and how few friendships they cultivate with unbelievers.

Am I embarrassed by this? Yep. I want it to change. Desperately.

hey sam,
so cool to hear that you were so encouraged and learnt so much from Driscoll.
on an aside – your 1st point is what dominic has been saying for 10 yrs! I can hear it ringing in my hears ….”many people no longer live in their suburbs, they live in their industries…”
hope engage was great!

I posted this comment on DM’s blog, but I’d be interested in people’s thoughts here too: Wasn’t it a little embarrassing to be told that (apparently) you’re mostly dorks who don’t get out much, and need to, you know, watch TV & be engaged with the culture you live in?

It’s easy to say that.
If you followed me around you’d see what I mean.

hayesy… i disagree.

you are the one who said we should do ‘driscoll on the coast’ not in the 650 seat auditorium, but in the 20,000+ seat stadium!!!!

“He believes that we, evangelicals in Sydney, have lost our belief in the power and willingness of God to bring many many people into the Kingdom. Our expectations are just plain low…”
