The second view—creativity as a necessity—represents the innovators and liturgists among us who understand how quickly we grow deaf to both Spirit and Scripture unless we approach life with fresh vitality and new ideas. (thread: 3/7)

The first view—creativity as a luxury—represents the great majority of Christians and churches, who feel as though “all that cool stuff” makes faith appealing but is, nevertheless, peripheral. (thread: 2/7)
