I was introduced to ted.com by Mark Craig, our communications director, a little while back. Its such a brilliant place.
Here’s a sample of what you’ll find there – three minutes of pure genius! Have a look – it could be the most productive three minutes you’ll spend this week, and then consider this question: apart from the leadership principles espoused, what does this video say to you about your life, your hopes, your ministry, the universe and everything? Comments welcome…

Hi David! Try Benjamin Zander on music and passion. You won't regret it! TED's a great find isn't it? Geoff

I'll check that out later Geoff - thanks. Amazing what you can communicate in 3 minutes - which says a lot to those of us who often take 30 minutes.

I can't help noticing though, that by the end of the video, the wild crazy dance has been transformed into something much tamer and much more conventional. Perhaps the most transformation mission occurs at the prophetic margins.

Ha, I think you're right Tim, which maybe begs the question as to how change happens - solitary crazy guy doing his stuff inspires change to happen: 500 others to join in, less crazily, but at least not sitting on the grass any more.

Geoff - watched the Benjamin Zander piece - beautiful!

Love the challenge to see the loan prophetic person and to have the guts to be the first one to stand beside them. Also watched the Shabi Chakrabati interview and read the Soham blog this morning. Really thought-provoking stuff David - loved it all!
