The first was from reading an article on Jonny Baker's blog (read here) about about 'worship curation'. Effectively he was saying that curation is about managing a space to be used by artists to display their work therefore worship curation is about creating a space in which people are able to worship. Jonny relates it to worship leaders however I think we are all able to facilitate/curate (?) worship for others by sharing a thought, creating a space for someone to think, praying for each other etc who knows what might trigger peoples thoughts towards God.
The second thing was whilst being squash amonst several thousand people at the radio 1 big weekend music festival on Sunday. I was very struck by all these people worshipping their 'gods' and what it was in them that made them need to do it what need was it meeting. One of the performers came down into the crowd and it was interesting to watch them clamouring for a touch of his hand - why? what need did it meet? It made me think of the woman who was healed by reaching out and touching Jesus' robe probably in a similar sort of crowd.
There is a need within all to fill the 'worship' gap, our challenge is to be curators to create the spaces where all people can meet God and have their needs met.
