Worth a watch. Jamie Smith summarises much of his recent book Desiring the Kingdom: Worship, Worldview, and Cultural Formation. You can get an overview of the book on his blog. I think he massively over-states his case, but it's interesting. Spot the brief mention of York Minister towards the end.

A truly brilliant book. As I said on my old blog:
In an age when there are so many Christian books purporting to be relevant to the 21st century, or to the reality of our lives, this is the first book I’ve read that actually delivers ... This is the most beneficial book I have read this year. A perfect mix of big picture Christianity, and day-to-day practicalities... I thank God for this book.
...also my first attempt to post video. Not that complicated really.
