Notes for Evangelism Conference

Random Stuff, need to organize more coherently

Evangelism in Emerging Culture

• Most importantly, it happens in communities.
• Three options (IMHO):
  1. Join an Existing Community
  2. Create One
  3. 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

• Wiki Worship & Soft Security
• Long Tail Church
• Blogging
• Open Source / Transparency
  • Eyeballs & bugs
  • Release Early & Release Often
• Truth, truthiness

Four Principles of "Wikinomics"

(Per Williams & Tapscott)

1. Openness
2. Peering
3. Sharing
4. Acting Globably

All would be completely applicable and beneficial to the church.
