I just listened to your post on Sir Ken Robinson’s TED Talk on the problems with our current education system. I couldn’t help but draw many identical commonalities to Christianity and the way we do “church”.

One of the greatest failings of the modern Christian Church, particularly its Evangelical branch, is a wholesale distrust of creative people. We love our doers, our teachers, and our pastors, but someone who creates artworks we may not immediately grasp or who has creative, nontraditional ideas about how to solve pressing church issues gets the evil eye from us. As a result, we’ve driven too many of these folks out of our churches at a time when we desperately need them to help us address needs within the Body in a more proactive way.

Each one of us is uniquely gifted to serve the Lord.

You are a blessing…keep letting the love of the Lord shine through you.
