Presentation wordle

Just for fun and with thanks to Tim Neufeld who put up a Wordle of his presentation, here's one of my Sunday morning conference paper "U2 Live: Where Leitourgia Has No Name."

If anyone is feeling generous, I am having trouble finding some apt introductory quotes for the paper I am giving at the U2 conference in October, "U2 Live: Where Leitourgia Has No Name." (This may be the first of other calls for help!) I'm trying to give a quick kaleidoscope view of things U2 have said about what makes their shows/audience connection unique, and would like a brief comment from all 4 band members if possible, with a citation as to where it comes from. From Bono I have "live is where we discover what our songs are about [and] discover what we are about." From Larry Mullen I have "the sacred moment." I want comments from Adam Clayton and the Edge to round out the picture. (I could use from the Edge “such a special thing that goes on between the band and the audience at a U2 show, and we never get tired of that. It's always unique; it's always really uplifting,” but would like something more pithy.) I'm betting someone out there has examples at the ready.

Happy to say that I'll be presenting a paper at the U2 academic conference next May in NYC. I had planned to be there anyway, but it'll be even more fun to share some thoughts and get feedback as part of the paper sessions. There were nearly 100 proposals! Mine has the title "U2 Live: Where Leitourgia Has No Name" and will attempt to read some of U2's concert praxis through the lens of liturgical theologians like Alexander Schmemann and David Fagerberg.
