This morning Doug Pagitt talked mostly about about community. We heard terms like: 


SATISFYING NARRATIVE
People need one and to see how it fits with THE satisfying narrative which, for me, is the story of Jesus.


THE INVENTIVE AGE 
What comes after the agrarian, industrial and knowledge ages. The age we live in/which is coming and which will reward those who make, connect and facilitate. Essential values of which are; inclusion, participation, collaboration and beauty. 

HIGH CONCEPT—HIGH TOUCH
Something we Anglicans seem to do without even trying.


NETWORK THEORY
Network theory is the new way to organize. Communities based on connections rather than belief systems. Not that there is no belief system, it's just that one doesn't necessarily have to espouse it to belong.
