Knowtown…: December 2004 Archives

the closed ecclesial communities that I have experienced (no doubt there are many great communities out there so I am not commenting on them) believe that the community will be better when I simply become willing to accept what they give me. Once I get on board with the pastor’s vision and operate by his rules than I can be seen as a team player and valuable member. The only contribution I am expected to make is to keep funding the vision. So it is my observation that closed source systems create consumer-users while open source systems create committed contributors.
