Hey all, our regional emergent cohort Uprooted is sponsoring a visit next week with Doug Pagitt. He’ll be coming to the up/rooted north location at Life on the Vine in Long Grove Tuesday, February 27th at 7pm. Many of you know that Doug is a pastor of Solomon’s Porch, author of Church Re-Imagined, among other writings. He is also a leader of emergent. I look forward to a stimulating conversation about everything missional. So come on up and join us. I’ll be there. Geoff with be there. Jon Berbaum, our new coordinator for north will be there. LET’S TALK!!
Also, just to let everyone know. Next month, I’ll be up at the The Evolving Church: Restoring Justice in Toronto (see logo on the right sidebar) with Jim Wallis, Shane Claiborne and Ron Sider. Talk about a line-up. The date of the conference is March 24, 2007 at The Meeting House in Oakville. I’ll be doing a seminar on “community in but not of capitalism” going beyond what I wrote in my book the Great Giveaway on the same topic. I’ll be telling some stories, and talking about ways we have been subverted by late consumerist capitalism and how we can resist and witness to true justice in the world through alternative practices. In the next several weeks, I hope to post some snapshots of what I’ll be presenting at the conference. If anyone is coming, please let me know and I’d like to connect somehow.
I leave tomorrow for TACT, the Theology and Culture Thinkers group in Los Angeles. We’ll have Dallas Willard with us for some of the time. I’m honored to be going. I should have at least one post on spiritual formation from this stimulating time in LA.
Missio Alliance Comment Policy
The Missio Alliance Writing Collectives exist as a ministry of writing to resource theological practitioners for mission. From our Leading Voices to our regular Writing Team and those invited to publish with us as Community Voices, we are creating a space for thoughtful engagement of critical issues and questions facing the North American Church in God’s mission. This sort of thoughtful engagement is something that we seek to engender not only in our publishing, but in conversations that unfold as a result in the comment section of our articles.
Unfortunately, because of the relational distance introduced by online communication, “thoughtful engagement” and “comment sections” seldom go hand in hand. At the same time, censorship of comments by those who disagree with points made by authors, whose anger or limited perspective taints their words, or who simply feel the need to express their own opinion on a topic without any meaningful engagement with the article or comment in question can mask an important window into the true state of Christian discourse. As such, Missio Alliance sets forth the following suggestions for those who wish to engage in conversation around our writing:
1. Seek to understand the author’s intent.
If you disagree with something the an author said, consider framing your response as, “I hear you as saying _________. Am I understanding you correctly? If so, here’s why I disagree. _____________.
2. Seek to make your own voice heard.
We deeply desire and value the voice and perspective of our readers. However you may react to an article we publish or a fellow commenter, we encourage you to set forth that reaction is the most constructive way possible. Use your voice and perspective to move conversation forward rather than shut it down.
3. Share your story.
One of our favorite tenants is that “an enemy is someone whose story we haven’t heard.” Very often disagreements and rants are the result of people talking past rather than to one another. Everyone’s perspective is intimately bound up with their own stories – their contexts and experiences. We encourage you to couch your comments in whatever aspect of your own story might help others understand where you are coming from.
In view of those suggestions for shaping conversation on our site and in an effort to curate a hospitable space of open conversation, Missio Alliance may delete comments and/or ban users who show no regard for constructive engagement, especially those whose comments are easily construed as trolling, threatening, or abusive.
