"The world is becoming turbulent faster than most organizations are becoming resilient."
"When an organization misses the future, it's not because it was unknown--it was because it's unpalatable."
"The longer you're down in the trenches, the easier it is to mistake the edge of your rut for the horizon."

From Paulette VenablesI think Gary's session was probably the one that impacted us the most. Apart from the wisdom that flowed from the pulpit, the manner in which it was presented kept us hanging onto every word. More than thinking through his challenges to us the question now for us *is how do we incorporate this, in some ways radical thinking, into the structures in our dynamic.*
Tony Machin (Toowoomba, Australia) was impressed with the challenge that Gary presented. Gary asks us to question the orthodoxy of how we do church and to see what we can learn from those who break the rules in constructive ways (the positive deviants). Our churches need a more flexible structure in order to adapt to the changes we are facing. Thank you Gary.
