5. The Quagmire Ahead
By DAVID BROOKS
Published: June 1, 2009 - NY Times
On Jan. 21, 1988, a General Motors executive named Elmer
Johnson wrote a brave and prophetic memo. Its main point was
contained in this sentence: “We have vastly underestimated
how deeply ingrained are the organizational and cultural
rigidities that hamper our ability to execute.”
On Jan. 26, 2009, Rob Kleinbaum, a former G.M. employee and
consultant, wrote his own memo. Kleinbaum’s argument was
eerily similar: “It is apparent that unless G.M.’s culture is
fundamentally changed, especially in North America, its
true heart, G.M. will likely be back at the public trough
again and again.”

21. The Different World-views Expressed In Art
Digital - Convergent Era
This digital expression is an
interactive form of art. The Madonna
and child are reinterpreted,
deconstructed, morphed, hacked and
played with.
Digital art is a collaborative
participation that remixes and offers
mash-ups of original or earlier
themes.
It is art to be shared, commented on
and reinterpreted over and over.
The implications for the church are
important to note.
How Does This Shift Change the Canvas of Your Sunday Service?
• How can the congregation participate in the direction or the outcome of the service - or is it pre-scripted,
choreographed?
• What does an interactive gathering require? Facility size, technology, skills of those leading, skills and
expectation of the congregation?
