whatever you do.

All of us, every day of our lives, are influenced by a certain set of outside works. This list evolves continually. As we change and are changed by our surrounding canon we adopt new strands and discard older strands. There is an interesting interplay here between what is adopted as we grow to need a new canon and the influence that our canon has on our need to change its very self. It’s an odd chicken/egg thing.

Here are the texts that are creating me today. The rules for creating the life canon were found here via Trip Fuller of number 6. (no particular order). I added one thing to the setup – formative community. I just wanted to get away from the thingness of the list. Not that the authors and artists mentioned here are things, but my interactions with material output of individuals does not fully comprise my life canon, as I see it.

1. The Cobalt Season, But I Tell You (music)
2. Intuitive Leadership, Tim Keel (book)
3. Preaching Reimagined, Doug Pagitt (book)
4. My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, Brian Eno and David Byrne (music)
5. Twitter
6. Homebrewed Christianity Podcast
7. missioning.ning.com (community)
8. Juno (Film)
9. An Emergent Manifesto of Hope, Ed. Pagitt and Jones (book)
10. Rawdon Street Baptist Church (community)

So what is your life canon?
