Comment on Wild Goose Festival & Ian’s thoughts on post cynical Christians by Peter Banks
Interesting stuff, now wondering if this will be one of your talks at Greenbelt later this year?
Your buddy Shane Claiborne was recently quoted by Bishop Graham Cray: ‘being discontented (with church) was a gift for the church’. Graham then drew a distinction between being discontented and disengaged which prompted me to think cynics tend to already be disengaged? Personally I feel like an Exile that still feels called to attend… but, rather than being disengaged I feel it is more of a case of there being such a massive disconnect for us creative types whilst there are such battles raging between traditionalism and/or commercialism within the institution.
Wild Goose sounds just like the early years of Greenbelt, I am a veteran of the very first one in 1974 and although cannot lay claim to attending every year, I never miss it now and still the chance encounters are so special!
So, on a mildly pedantic note U2 were never GB’s ‘houseband’… they played a 23 minute set in 1981 on borrowed instruments and legend has it that Bono subsequently visited under cover as a steward!
Best, PB
PS Recently reviewed Chasing Francis on my blog, btw…

I want to acknowledge and commend a book by Andrew Byers entitled Faith Without Illusions: Following Jesus as a Cynic-Saint. I drew material from this book when I spoke at Wild Goose and in my remarks on this podcast.
