Edwin Friedman spoke the following at the Baccalaureate address to Albert Einstein High School in 1964:
“The universal ingredient and force which permeates all of life – namely change – is changing for the faster, and this means that it will become more and more necessary for each of us to be more resilient and flexible, more spontaneous in dealing with the new and unforeseen, and it will become less and less easy to find security and stability by just adopting the traditional customs and ideas and attitudes of the past.” (From the book: What Are You Going to Do With Your Life?)
Sounds applicable to the church eh?

1Sounds similar to The Missional Leader in their discussion of discontinuous change. Good stuff to think and dwell upon.
