			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the emulation of <a href="http://twitter.com/urbanplanter">twitter</a>, I want to post some &#8220;140 character or less&#8221; thoughts on this topic.</p>
<p>its easy to talk about a salary-less church when you don&#8217;t get your salary from the church.</p>
<p>giving to our church has gone up as I have taken less.</p>
<p>In the last 1.5 months I haven&#8217;t taught at toh&#8230; and we&#8217;ve grown.</p>
<p>i&#8217;m pretty sure the Brethren are the authority on this, but i think what i am thinking about is a little different.</p>
<p>James Surowiecki &#8211; <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/james_surowiecki_on_the_turning_point_for_social_media.html">social media TED talk</a> is very helpful on this topic. I like the term a volunteer co-operative program.</p>
<p>does having no paid staff mean that there are no leaders? i&#8217;ve seen the opposite.</p>
<p>I used to think a church would always need a paid leader. not sure anymore.</p>
<p>salary-less could mean community-more?</p>
<p>I have no idea what a salary-less church looks like&#8230; i mean didn&#8217;t Paul even get paid?</p>
<p>an excessive reliance on incentives (salary) demoralizes professional activity by people losing morale and activity losing morality. <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_our_loss_of_wisdom.html">B.Swartz</a></p>
<p>We assume money will keep the train rolling&#8230; not necessarily. It may keep rolling, but in what direction?</p>
<p>less money to leaders.. less stress?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After my last post I have had a few friends ask me about these &#8220;<a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php">TED Talks</a>&#8221; and I should say they have been quite inspirational in my life. In fact I have a dream of being invited to sit in on these talks live one day, and maybe even give a talk on how a small community of people can transform a city. This one in particular has given me a huge vision for my life and work with <a href="http://theopenhouse.ca">toh</a> in Vancouver. I think it&#8217;s about time I revisit it. Thanks <a href="http://nickmelazzo.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/this-is-what-i-want-to-do/">Nick</a> for bringing this one up again.</p>
