Atlanta’s 11 least influential people

Amidst a culture that seems to value more one’s potential influence than one’s person-hood, this video reminds me that God calls us to unexpected places, and even more, that Holy Spirit is blowing even without the church. While CNN Videos spend thousands covering such things as John Edward’s bagel before tonight’s debate, I’m thankful for journalists of other varieties.
I loved:
- the openness of the reporter and photographer
- the artist’s eye for irony
- in a different sort of way, the non-preachy sermoness
- the extension from human figures to animals too
I would have changed:
- added a piece on the poor in Atlanta’s nursing facilities
- perhaps also another on a lower-income failure-to-thrive child
- added a call to action

Here’s a link to Troy’s blog, the Presbyterian pastor chosen as the 6th least influential.
Finally, the article summary in Creative Loafing.
