"You don't stop trying new things until the tears stopnot because you are innovative, but because you love your child."
So writes Kenda Creasy Dean in her new book, Innovating for Love, in which she and fellow theologian Andrew Root argue that the church needs to get more creative in its use of the word " innovation."
"For Christians, innovation means participating in God's big idea rather than trying to co-opt God into blessing ours," Dean writes in an interview with the Christian Science Monitor.
Root agrees: "For Christians, innovation means participating in God's big idea rather than trying to co-opt God into blessing ours," he says.
"I don't see any way to disconnect our concepts of innovation from our conceptions of what innovation is and how it impacts us," he adds.
"But I think love is what innovation boils down to for Christians.
Every parent of a toddler knows this.
You don't stop trying new things until the tears stopnot because you are innovative, but because you love your child."
