Some New Online Community Thoughts
Online Community as Required Reading (for Christian Organizations, or any theologically based community, and for anybody with a clue)
Month: October 2002
Online Community as Required Reading
Regarding my post a couple entries back wondering whether I am moving at all toward my goals for the future, it seems to be that this is the nature of call. It requires some faith. To the secular mind, it has to do with finding what it is that “captures” you to the extent that you want to spend your Continue Reading
Being an Online Community
My Confessions Page leads rather naturally to a discussion here, and I have been avoiding doing any dipping in this in a blogging sense, since the topic usually surfaces a lot of feelings about not seeing a vision fulfilled, realizing the need to “keep on keepin’ on”, and then trying to figure out how to do a better persuasive job Continue Reading
Reflections on Shadowlands
Dave Winer blogs Shadowlands: There’s a great movie called Shadowlands starring Anthony Hopkins and Deborah Winger. …….. People who know all the answers, or pretend to, have simply forgotten to ask questions they don’t know the answers to. [Scripting News] Dave, I think yiou nailed the real message of Shadowlands, and the C.S.Lewis book which inspired it. What you and I Continue Reading
Angels’ late-inning heroics surprise everyone
Angels’ late-inning heroics surprise everyone but them. FOXSports.com Oct 27 2002 2:38AM ET [Moreover – Sports: baseball news] and me. Anybody that it “surprises” hasn’t payed much attention. Where do they get these headlines?
God beyond and in spite of theologies
Coming back home usually spells victory in Series
OK, before everybody starts talking about the Giants being on the brink of a Title, remember recent history. Coming home down 3-2, the Angels need only look back one year to the Diamondbacks, who trailed the Yankees 3-2 as the series came back to Arizona. Look at 1991, when the Twins did it to the Braves, 1987 when the Twins Continue Reading
Philly Enquirer sees through the Baseball Memorable Moment vote
I knew that this “vote” would raise debates. It’s so incredibly clueless how people fail to realize (although the quote below does indeed realize) that people will vote for THEIR memorable moment based on at least a couple of factors: That they were actually , like, ALIVE and stuff when the event happened (the Jackie Robinson finishing 3rd complaint) and Continue Reading
Baseball’s Most Memorable moment??!!
I was afraid that the “Most memorable Moment” would be the Ripken streak. What a media -induced response.. Consecutive games played is indeed a monumental achievement, but WAY WAY over glorified. I got SO sick of hearing about it. I like Ripken, and it’s certainly an awesome record, but I do not consider that “memorable”. Give me a break. Not Continue Reading
Would Jesus Attack Iraq?
A post to the blog of the EkklesiaProject asks something I have asked folks over the past month or so: “ I find it interesting, however, that not one of my brothers and sisters in the faith has asked the most popular Christian question of the day: What Would Jesus Do?“ I think I may have blogged somethign to this Continue Reading
Smart Mob Theological Issues – First Thoughts
I find myself in the position of “straddling” a bunch of new “experiments” with Church/theological websites. We have just gotten ourselves a new Web hosting solution for the Church, and I have already uploaded a few “blog” pages to play around with what a Church blog might be like (not yet ready for prime time , though). I also work in an Continue Reading
Smart Mobs and Theological Community
Picked up Howard Rheingold’s new book “Smart Mobs” Saturday when we were in Cincinnati over the weekend. (
Church Business (or is it Church AS Business?)
Tim at e-church nails another deep seated worry/peeve/depressant of mine, which is how the Church pursues the task of finding new members: and it is utterly like the rest of the business world strategies, using marketing type tactics like reaching out to “market segments” and using business categories for these. And the kind of thinking behind all this is how Continue Reading
