Mike Hill, Bishop of Bristol, has a great post on his blog: Cynicism the antidote to innovation.

Here’s a quote from what he says:

The first rule of innovation is to give people permission to fail. God knows we need a group of out on the edge, entrepreneurial church leaders who are prepared to have a go.

Of course they will make mistakes; of course they will create some ideas which won’t work; little they do will be perfect. But let’s get behind them rather than greet them and their outrageous plans with an unhealthy cynicism.
