Evangelism is Dead. Long live Evangelism.
Things I Promised I'd Talk About
- Modern Church vs. Post-modern Church (WTF is "Post-Modern"???)
- Recent Cultural Trends and Ideas (My Favorite, See Below)
- Resources for Evangelism in Emerging Culture
- Emerging Flavored Presbyterians (Presbymergent)
Jeff's Outline for Me
- Evangelism is Dead. Long live Evangelism.
- Historical overview of emergent
- moving to a church that is more relevant to postmodern culture.
- Deconstructionism
- What evangelism is not
- Evangelism as Deliberate (or intentional) Community
- Relationships vs. Rules
- Church fulfilling need for daily community
- Congregation as participant developers (open-source / prosumers) vs. listeners & followers
Evangelism in Emerging Culture
- Most importantly, it happens in communities.
- Three options (IMHO):
- Join an Existing Community
- Create One
- Transform an existing one into one
Number 3 is least favorite option and hardest to get right. 2 is good choice, but not easy. 1 is best.
Prosumers of Worship
- Old Model: leaders produce, congregation consumes
- New Model: leaders help congregation to produce AND consume
Interesting Concepts I Like to Talk About
- Web 2.0 & Church 2.0
- Wiki Worship & Soft Security
- Long Tail Church
- Open Source / Transparency
- Eyeballs & bugs
- Release Early & Release Often
- Truth
- Absolute Truth (Pluto?)
- Truthiness: Greek vs. Jewish
Four Principles of "Wikinomics"
(Per Williams & Tapscott)
- Openness
- Peering
- Sharing
- Acting Globably
All would be completely applicable and beneficial to the church.
