The 2008 TEDPrize Winners' videos are now available online. They are facinating to watch. It is especially interesting to see how all three of them recognize the broken nature of this fallen world in which we find ourselves, and their response is to do something to make it better.
There is much we in the church can learn from watching compassionate, and in many cases, secular, people, respond to the needs of the sin-stained creation.
Sadly, they often put us to shame. How can the church be a more powerful force for the restoration of creation? Could it be that creativity can help move creation toward restoration?
