more on U2...
what's so amazing about these guys is this: They have lived out their faith in this brave new world now for some 24 years (in, would shoud hands down be considered one of the most hazerdous to your faith places to do so) as rock legends. And what’s so encouraging to me is that they have survived. And even more than that emerged unscathed (arguably). Even more than that emerged comepletely full of authentic, active, and world changing faith.

They are hero’s. Hero’s for those of us who are climbing our way out of what we know as “the church.” Hero’s for those of us who now move cautiously out into the waters of this new world daring to share the love of Christ. Hero’s, hero’s, hero’s…or prophets?

No I think both...

When we wrote them off, and reclused in our evangelical getthos - they wrote (lyrics) on and wrote the gospel into the hearts of the world. There is much much more...I trust we have much to learn from these prophets...

What they have accomplished in terms of incarnating the gospel is to be recognized and affirmed. I thank God for these men and their compelling journey that calls me to "walk on."
