May I offer one more to insert between 16 and 17? The flip side of 16 actually: "Treat heresy as creativity". I think we can be inclined to both errors. Though I suppose letting heresy flow would enable a movement of one sort (and arguably would not fit on your list). But I tend to think that heretical movements should die, and I imagine you do as well. Nice list! May I offer one more to insert between 16 and 17?

Great movements happen because of or in spite of the way we respond to the opportunities He brings us. Thought the list was a pretty good assessment.

It speaks into my past experiences as a developing leader. Thanx for challenging status quo! I was cheering as I read your list. It speaks into my past experiences as a developing leader.

What's truly awe inspiring is how God circumvents and frustrates all the above. These things can kill a movement, will slow things to a crawl and wound people deeply in the process, but can't stop God.

I would love to discuss further with you and I would like someone like George Verwer, or Ralf Winter to give their thoughts on your list. Stimulating critique.

It is so much in the core of much of the western Church's fabric and DNA to do what you have mentioned here. Exciting and frightening at the same time.
