Choosing Your World
Benjamin Zander is the director of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, he is also known for his charisma, his energy, and his interpretation of music and musicians. He also has spoken on finding possibility in hopeless situations, or how by seeing something in a different light can yeild exciting possibilities. This video clip is a bit long at about 26 min, however, it will give a good introduction to the basic premise of his ideas. In order to get the full understanding of what he is saying it is important to watch to the very end, paying specially attention to the two variations of the Moonlight Sonata.
The point of connection with a blog like this one on catechism may not be immediately obvious. It is not unusual when working with churches to find a kind of downward spiral thinking that comes from years and years of baggage as a congregation has aged or moved through different stages in life. This offers some insights into new ways of thinking.
