A headache: To do or not to do, that is the question?

I have a headache... having spent a chunk of the day either trying to sort out various ecumenical fallouts or sitting in boring meetings.
It's difficult because the fall outs were caused by entrepeneurial faith communities doing new things, hip hip hooray, but clashing with and to some extent undermining existing congregations.
The boring meetings were largely only from my perspective because I wanted to shout why don't you just do something?!
Do something and cause trouble to your neighbours or do nothing and become a bit... dull. Which option should you choose?
The answer is partnership, if you do the exciting thing in partnership with your neighbourhood faith communitnities, they get excited and not undermined. This is probably oneof the reasons we should all be involved in partnerships.
