URBANarmy's Mission Anthem...

Ben over at guerillachristianity introduced me to the concept of video code - so I thought I'd stick a bit of Coldplay. So 'Fix You' is now an experimental fixture. I'm hoping that the song isn't about song drug crazed sex filled evening but even if it is I'm keeping it for a while!

Seems to me to be a song about brokenness and having the desire to do something about it. I thought URBANarmy could do with a 'mission anthem' for a while. Sorry no mute button that I can see - if it gets on your nerves just stop it or turn your volume down.

Any other suggestions welcome?

I've just noticed that the video code only seems to work on certain browsers or operating systems

'Never waste a good crisis' ~ Winston Churchill

'Never waste a good crisis' ~ Winston Churchill I heard this Churchillian quote this morning while enjoying my traditional 'whatever the weather' porridge. A quick google turned up these interesting words written by Andrew Low for the commercial world. "In challenging times one must question the accepted reality because things are going wrong, rapid answers are needed and the solution may well be found outside the usual compass. In the world of business we are often guilty of not challenging the norm; we are instead satisfied with following procedure and tradition. It takes insight and not a little courage to question your leaders as to why are things done the way that they are? However, in times of crisis there seems to be more latitude to do so – management in fact is actively seeking input it seems. Leading companies nowadays recognise this and cultivate a more open, questioning climate within the office at all times because a degree of co...

Lost Voices of Mission...Fred Brown

Along the world famous Oxford street in London's Westend; nestled in among the classy frontage of designer shops there is almost an unnoticeable, unimpressive wooden door. It is more or less alongside The Regent Hall's main entrance onto the busyness of Oxford Street. People pass the wooden door oblivious to the equally unimpressive wooden steps that go up three storey's to what was Regent Hall's youth club. When I was 10 I played on these bare wooden steps totally unaware of the significance behind and upon which I played. Many years later I discovered a university youth work course - as an induction to Youth Work - stopped outside this insignificant wooden door to point out that Youth Work as we know it in the UK started behind this door. ...whether that be the surbanite flower people that flooded the Westend to express their free love; or the hard core drug community this unimpressive wooden door became the 'portal' that blurred encounter between church an...
