The difference between delegating responsibility and giving away delegated authority is like eggs and ham: the chicken is involved; the pig is committed.

Ever thought about how the room you gather in on a Sunday morning is used? How is the stage set up? What is the focal point of the room? Where do the seats point, and what is the accessibility of the stage? What artistic expressions exist in the worship space? I do. All the time….
