Clustering...

Here are a few thoughts borrowed from another blog - thinkchristian.net. I think the thoughts are worth noting.

When people—especially talented and creative ones—come together, ideas flow more freely, and as a result individual and aggregate talents increase exponentially: the end result amounts to more than the sum of the parts. This clustering makes each of us more productive, which in turn makes the place we inhabit even more so—and our collective creativity and economic wealth grow accordingly. This in a nutshell is the clustering force.

I’m convinced that the church’s spiritual influence capital can be increased when the artists, musicians and creatives hanging around in the church begin to cluster and create. I want to see the creative force of the people of God released in a new way. I’m becoming convinced that it is the key that unlocks the door to our next season.

In the Division, there are "clusters" for officers. While I have not attended one yet, I guess they will provide a clustering force experience as described above in relation to Christian ministry.
