Tribes and church

A friend of mine sent me Seth Godin's new book,

.  All Godin's books pack lots of new thinking between their small covers.  I'll post more about it after I'm finished, but already I've run across these gems:

• "A  tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea." -p 1.
• "Heretics are the new leaders. The ones who challenge the status quo, who get out in front of their tribes, who create movements." -p 11.
• "Leaders have followers. Managers have employees. Managers make widgets. Leaders make change." - p 14.
• "'Established in 1906' used to be important. Now, apparently, it's a liability." -p 17.
• "People yearn for change, they relish being part of a movement." -p 18.
• "Great leaders create movements by empowering the tribe to communicate.  They establish the foundation for people to make connections, as opposed to commanding people to follow them." -p 23.

Okay, more later, but you get the picture.

is about leaders, followers, connection and movements.  Sounds like the first century when the church was young.  Maybe it can happen again -- a real movement, a genuine groundswell of people gathered around Jesus, connecting with each other, passionate about doing God's work in God's world.  Anybody up for a movement?
