He is young, hip, contextualized, and edgy. I would call him a safe pick. IMO, it is not how much cultural minutia one leaves behind or how progressive they are as an individual. Driscoll is still very much in line with "traditional" church--even though he looks and sounds different, he has different sensibilities as an individual. We are needing a paradigm shift not someone who is simply better at the old paradigm or who looks cooler pulling it off. Sure it will turn things around for a while, but we will simply have to revisit this in a few years if we don't change things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12186595162229320722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949832150146423962.post-73860175117619459172010-09-01T14:54:40.717-05:002010-09-01T14:54:40.717-05:00The point is that if you depersonalize the situati...The point is that if you depersonalize the situation and just look at the resume it is certainly impressive. But look at the kind of decision the board is making. It is completely within the realm of the normal. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with this. Undoubtedly his successes will help him connect with pastors. From a strategic standpoint however, the board has to change some things. Perhaps he is the man to make such changes. Time will tell. From where I sit, he seems to be too much inside the system--but I have been known to be overly cynical.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12186595162229320722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7949832150146423962.post-61719722390091203452010-09-01T14:03:45.042-05:002010-09-01T14:03:45.042-05:00You've never heard of him until now yet you ca...You've never heard of him until now yet you can call it a "safe pick"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
