Things I Promised I'd Talk About

- moving to a church that is more relevant to postmodern culture.
- Deconstructionism (critical to emergence)
- 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
- It's all about community.
- So how do I...?
- Three options (IMHO):
- Join an Existing Community (best)
- Create One (good but hard)
- Transform an existing one into one (hardest, possibly inauthentic)
Technological Concepts and Trends
- Web 2.0 & Church 2.0
- Long Tail Church

- Eyeballs & bugs
- Release Early & Release Often
- Wikinomics
- Wiki Worship & Soft Security
- Consumers of Worship vs. Prosumers of Worship
- Four Principles of "Wikinomics"
- Openness
- Peering
- Sharing
- Acting Globally
Other Random Soapboxes (Ask With Caution)
- Truth, Truthiness, and Absolute Truth
- Presbyterians Are Big Time Geeks.
- Why Folk Music and Hymns are Emergent. And Cool.
- ASCAP Sucks. So does Copyright.
- Most Christian Education is Neither Christian Nor Education
- Emerging Church Dress Code (why do they all look alike?)
