Some excellent thinking from Dylan about U2 and liturgy here. (Dylan also does a nice line in sermon preparation notes, which I sometimes take advantage of).

I particularly liked this:

“There are few ways — maybe even no way — to get that kind of confidence and chemistry in a band without lots and lots of rehearsal. I think the same goes for a team of folks leading a church service. If everyone from the altar guild and acolytes to the celebrant has enough good communication and time together, things will be more likely to go as planned when that improves the worship experience and the team will be more free to do something differently if that’s needed in the moment.”

Well, I can daydream.
