I have mentioned on a couple of posts,  somewhere in the past month,  that I am wondering if I should start some serious thinking about how to fashion a budget-conscious road trip to the D.C. Area,  in order to visit and hopefully carry on some serious dialogue about some Web Community Ministry types of ideas that I think have met the most basic criteria of an idea “Whose time has come”.  The Church of the Saviour is the main attraction.  I have this category here,  as testimony to a now 27-year journey through the various stories from their history and ministries.  They have kept on,  throughout their 56 year existence,  expanding into any and all areas of life as a mission ;  a mission to extend missions, to discern needs and go after them,  with people and vision culled from their life together.   Maybe I have been one that has been planted and growing for years,  awaiting articulation and form.  From the first readings of Call To Commitment and Journey Inward, Journey Outward,  to the beginnings of the Internet and my initial descriptions of such things as “A Compuserve for the Church” (just prior to the coming of the Web to the non-tech audience in 1991-92),  and now on the backside of a 5 and a half year stint as web Developer at a denominational Publishing House,  the really down, bleak-looking  job market has me wondering if I’m going to make a dent in this mission/calling of mine if I don’t do something risky.
