Brisbane Jazz

Recently I saw Brisbane jazz trio Misinterprotato live at the Judith Wright Centre for Contemporary Arts. To say that I was impressed would be a serious understatement. I'm in for a treat this weekend too: the Powerhouse Jazz Festival and the Conrad Treasury Groove and Grape Festival are on this weekend. While a friend has tickets for the at the Powerhouse, I'm hoping to see Megan Washington, and the for free at the Groove and Grape.

iChurch

iChurch is the cover story of the latest issue of Leadership. It discusses the church shopping and argues against a consumerist approach to Christianity. I'm surprised -- but heartened that a pastor would pen this article. Though my guess is that as dissappointed as they are with members shopping for churches, as long as pastors market their churches (especially in an environment of competition rather than competition) they'll continue to produce consumers rather than make disciples.
