Two years ago, when Crossroads was going through "The Hullaballoo", a time of major reflection and change, Nikki and I spent a week in Adelaide with the staff of Holy Trinity. The senior pastor, Paul Harrington, and his family kindly had us stay with them for that time. It was nice having a senior pastor talking about his biiiig church while reclining lazily in a couch, drinking a glass of wine, his crummy VW combi visible out the living room window.
Among many, many helpful hints, Chris Jolliffe, the pastor of their 10am congregation (which met in a cinema at the time), recommended The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. It's not a Christian book, but an insightful examination of how ideas and fashions spread.
It has been on my To Read list for two years. Finally I got it out of the State Lending Library. So far I have enjoyed it a great deal. Stay tuned for more posts on The Tipping Point.
