Innovative spirituality?

Doing a little research on creativity for the quarterly newsletter (at work), I've stumbled across this bit from Wikipedia....

"Creativity is typically used to refer to the act of producing new ideas, approaches or actions, while innovation is the process of both generating and applying such creative ideas in some specific context.
In the context of an organization, therefore, the term innovation is often used to refer to the entire process by which an organization generates creative new ideas and converts them into novel, useful and viable commercial products, services, and business practices, while the term creativity is reserved to apply specifically to the generation of novel ideas by individuals or groups, as a necessary step within the innovation process."

I wonder how this translates to spiritual formation? The ideas aren't historically novel, in that we're talking about practices that have been cultivated for thousands of years. But as we learn about these practices, these means of being conformed to His likeness, they are new for us. They are old ideas, planted freshly in our minds....like prayer of the heart, silent prayer, solitude, service, fasting, secrecy. Innovation moves us from talking about the ideas to experimenting with them. A classmate said it well this week: "It is not enough to stand on the other side of the gate simply admiring the view of what lays beyond."
There's a time to get up "off your arse" and just do it.
