- Tall Skinny Kiwi: A white guy and a black guy in the emerging church
- Andrew Jones tells a beautiful story of the emerging church. I love this stuff. I had typed a bunch of thoughts about it, but it should speak for itself.
- cheaper than therapy: Amen to the Critiques of the Whiteness of the Emerging Church
- I'm not all that involved in the recent discussions of whether the emerging church is too white (both because it isn't, unless you mean Emergent Village, and because I want to listen more than I talk, being a white guy), though I have watched the conversations and found many viewpoints that I agree with and many that I really disagree with. This is a great one. "If it does not have a cross section which looks exactly like an approximation of the make-up of the world or at least America, it is too something. ALWAYS."

- Horrible Advice: Never listen to your customers – DIY Marketing Blog
- It's easy to think we shouldn't listen to our customers because they don't know, if we ask them, exactly what they want from what we are designing. But that's not the point of talking to customers, doing usability studies, etc. – the point is to learn from them, investigate from there, and be designers!
- Christianity is Empire, part 1 | the Jesus Manifesto
- This series is examining the factors of traditional Christianity that lead it to promote Empire, and show how these factors came about and have been used, and how we can move forward. I think this is an incredibly important series, as we can't ignore these things.

- Iraq slaughter not an aberration – Glenn Greenwald – Salon.com

Links for April 5th
