As I say in the address, it is rather out of character for me to deliver public statements about U2 that focus on anything but their artistic output -- and frankly listening back to it feels odd. But it was interesting to try looking not at U2 as a topic, but at a topic (community) that I thought would be relevant specifically to a college-age Christian audience, while drawing examples from U2. Thanks again to Gordon for the invitation.

Stability, conflict, mission
Here is an iTunes podcast link to download my address at Gordon College's Convocation a week ago entitled "Creative Community: Lessons from U2." There is a YouTube version here, but there's some problem with the video file and part of the middle of the talk is missing.
