Imagine learning from a trip to the circus! This weekend I went with the family to Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey circus in town for the weekend. I couldn't help notice how an organization as ancient as the circus continues to attract and relate to modern audiences. One clue was that the circus is in tune to some of modern society's familiar sounds. After the clown routine ends badly, the music heard was the famous computer sound of something gone bad on the computer. The audience roared with laughter at the sound for they had been there.
I think sometimes the church fails to connect because we don't go to where people are or where people have been. We prefer to stay right where we are, which is usually a comfortable place.
