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.
Get Up Off Your Knees: Preaching the U2 Catalog. It started back in 2004 with a book. We're still watching it happen.

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.
