a velvet church

Seth Godin quotes Brian Eno as saying that, although the first Velvet Underground album only sold 1,000 copies, all those who bought it formed a band. He goes on to note that, “many of us sell ideas, not widgets, and …ideas are best when used, and the more they get used, the more ideas they spawn.”

It strikes me that is what we ought to be looking to do as churches - not being consumed by wanting to sell more records ourselves but gladly seeing other bands forming.
