Click the photo to go to DG’s Flickr set of Via Crucis :: Immersion 2008 photos. He has a great eye and sense of color. I think he captured the tone of the experience well.  Plus he played with some cool new featues on his camera, so there you go.

Here are DG’s words that he posted about this particular image:

“the most senses filled station, the Death of Christ. They had this cross on the floor and all around you was videos on each wall, and sound surrounding you. The video was filled with images and videos of Christ dieing and other painful events from all over the world. Amazing! I wanted to keep the color of the picture of the same as the time I took it (lots of blue in the videos being played above.”

Unity in Diversity

I can’t get the video to embed, but here’s a link - http://www.current.tv/watch/69559992

This is a very interesting video about Crossroads, our local mega-church.

There’s a ton that you could exegete from this video…. lots of unpacking.  Like the couple (?) interviewed evaluating the veracity and legitimacy of Crossroads by “attendance”.  Is there a self-understanding of this congregation as a/the People of God?  What is success for this church - as defined by the leaders AND as defined by their “owners” (that’s, as I understand it, insider Crossroadian language for “members”)… AND defined by average-joe-attender?

I’m curious as to why Brian speaks of consolidation of small churches into one (or fewer?) as a good thing?  Is it really true that the diversity of churches inhibits Kingdom activity?  Is it true that a consolidation of ministries under one umbrella organization is more effective at extending Kingdom ministry?  If so then whose umbrella?  Do the Catholics get to play?   These are things I’m wondering….
