I'm very taken with the idea of God's sovereingty being expressed in terms of improvisation - when I was at Spurgeon's that's the conclusion I reached in my diss. I may blog on this specifically.<BR/><BR/>I like your other reflection as well and think that it works really well. And incidenally I think you know a hec of a lot!Geoff Colmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399306737741865827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164100025139495762.post-19846055464900517482008-04-28T17:19:00.000+01:002008-04-28T17:19:00.000+01:00Good post.What about improv as way of thinkning ab...Good post.<BR/><BR/>What about improv as way of thinkning about God's sovereignty? God gets there by responding to contributions that the rest of make, not by tying everyone to predetermined set of dots.<BR/><BR/>What about improv as a way of imaging the rel tween the individual and the community? Jazz is often described as quintessentially American in part because of the prominence it gives to the soloist. Seems to me though that good improve is about the soloist (individual) finding their own unique by responding to the contribuions of others in the band (community).<BR/><BR/>But then ... what do I know?!Glen Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893819289223413110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164100025139495762.post-24978038288129573942008-04-28T10:23:00.000+01:002008-04-28T10:23:00.000+01:00Hi AlanThanks for your comment.
