A new collaborative community of faith is starting up in Cleveland that will combine the ideas of organic church and social networking/web 2.0 functions. Phyllis and I have been talking and praying about this for years and we feel the context is finally right. For those of you who know us, you know that this will not be like any church you’ve ever heard of…some folks may even have a difficult time calling it church. That’s OK. I prefer the phrase “collaborative community of faith,” because that’s more in line with New Testament theology. The word “church” just doesn’t carry the same connotations that it did 2,000 years ago.
Anyway, a web portal is in the works. For now, keep checking back here for info. This will be an intergenerational, family-centric model.
As a primer, consider reading George Barna’s Revolution in addition to the Neil Cole book listed above.
