In “A Place of Connectivity” (a substory under “Church of the Saviour Web”) I am wondering about how to do “TrackBack”: The “disconnect” between the “experience” of a Church when comparing their “atmosphere” in face-to-face events vs the “aura” of the online “place” is what I consider to be the best indicator of where to attack the problem of the lack of Continue Reading
“Church of the Saviour Web” is a piece I am writing which begins to explore the many pieces of an effective, engaging, and energizing Church Web which communicates how closely integrated Church can be with ALL OF LIFE. An “always on” connection to the “buzz” and to the energy of the spirit which seems to permeate the atmosphere in a Continue Reading
“A RADICAL EXPERIMENT IN WASHINGTON Peter Rentier visited the Church of the Saviour in Washington and found a church that wasn’t afraid to take a risk. Ahead of their time, they have built a radically different kind of small church committed to its community.“
Today I’m going downtown to meet a guy that I discovered had some common experiences in ministry, and has also been involved with the Web from the early days. I’m going to his place of work and I’m going to show him my resume and he’s going to make any suggestions about what might help me. And I’m sure we’ll Continue Reading
Sports Blog: “Reds Hall of Famers”
The big four Reds of the 70s: Bench , Morgan, Perez, and the should be hall-of-famer, Rose. If Steve Howe can be given, what was it? 5 chances at drug rehab, then Rose can be forgiven.
A friend of mine is working on publishing some ideas to encourage dialogue on the re-organizationof a mjor denomination. He asked me for input, since I am never hesitant to speak of my concerns regarding the Church’s failures in the area of commuication technology, the Internet in particular. I feel that as more and more people turn to the “information Continue Reading
Gutless Pacifist asks a question that a lot of people find offensive: If I had some super powers (besides the ones my small child seems to think I have) and I could PROMISE you (and you believed me) that I could / would trade you the lives of 2 (innocent & healthy) small children (below the age of three say) Continue Reading
The more I read about this, the more nauseated I get. e-Church provides the following Associated Baptist Press Story about the firing of the Missions Professor I mentioned yesterday that I saw first via Tim at e-Church. I take it from the looks of the Associated Baptist Press Site that they are not well thought of by a certain number in Continue Reading
I have written a short piece on Church Web Development in “Church Web Schemas”
A bedtime jammy getup for Kelli so cute I had to capture it
Tim, you wouldn’t be a “former” Southern Baptist like myself, would you? Your story and your comments echo many of my views on this. So many of the present leadership of the SBC just KNOW what God’s Word is, and that it couldn’t possibly consist mostly of “their own appropriation” of that Word. It just “says what it says”. I Continue Reading
I bought (or got free at Best Buy with a purchase of Norton System Works) Ordinary People , a movie I saw while I was a seminary student, and was one of the best I ever saw. Powerful, emotional, and real. I’ve been wanting a DVD copy of this for quite a while.
After my job ended Nov. 21, I once again picked up the book of sermons by Gordon Cosby. I was entering a fearful time (and I’m still there). Chapter 15 was where my bookmark sat, and the Chapter is entitled “Reducing Fear”, followed by “Detachment”, “Deepening Connections”. Those three chapters helped me at just the right time. Nothing is solved Continue Reading
Books I’m reading or trying to read, and carrying around with me in my bag.
