Links for April 11th
- Meacham: The End of Christian America | Newsweek Religion | Newsweek.com
- This is the Newsweek article that has announced what many of us have been anticipating for years. Thank God for a post-Christian America.
- The Future of the Church « kingdom grace
- "Being forced to the margins will give the church an opportunity to redefine itself and its message to something that more accurately reflects the heart of the gospel."
- Unless a Grain of Wheat Falls: The Church in 25 years » gathering in light – “Do not go gentle into that good night.”
- "My sense about the future is that the church, whatever is left of it in 25 years, will be built around a kind of nebulous, decentralized participation in God’s mission. I imagine there will be a lot less full-time CEO pastors and more people who see themselves as co-cultivators of kingdom imaginations. People who band together in a world where there is little money, time or space for full-time ministry to embody this call."
- » Peter Rollins on The Last Supper ::: Subversive Influence
- I'm late on linking to this, but it is a fascinating thought for Holy Week. It is an excerpt from Peter Rollins' Orthodox Heretic.
- God is Dead « Sensual Jesus
- "God is dead. God is dead. God is dead."
- G(oo)d Friday – BlakeHuggins.com
- "Today God is eclipsed, and we are left to wrestle with its aftermath."
Links for April 9th
- Don’t Weep For the Demise of American Christianity » Blog » Greg Boyd (Christus Victor Ministries)
- "I hope it is enough to show that, from a Kingdom perspective, the demise of American Christianity is not something we should weep over. To the contrary, its actually good news."
- The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan (April 08, 2009) – The Red Cross Torture Report
- "It is the most damning and credible indictment of the American government to appear in years – more damning because it was prepared in the usual secrecy and not intended as a public document; more damning because it comes not from Jane Mayer or Mark Danner or Dana Priest or this blog, but from the most credible and respected human rights watchdog in the world: the International Committee for the Red Cross."
- Don Norman | UX Week 2008 | Adaptive Path on Vimeo
- Great video from Don Norman at Adaptive Path's UX Week 2008. He was, possibly, my favorite of the main speakers. This is a really powerful challenge to both designers and business/marketing people.
Links for April 8th
- the Jesus Manifesto » Jubilee in the Midst of Foreclosure
- In these economic hard times, the myths of consumer capitalism are slowly being exposed as we learn that the “American Dream” comes at great cost. We can no longer shut our eyes to the exploitation and militarism that has been the foundation of our way of life.
Links for April 7th
- Abolish Slavery, Free Slaves, Stop Human Trafficking, Retrieve Children From Slavery | The Abolish Slavery Coalition
- "Abolish Slavery is a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating human trafficking and restoring dignity to victims."
Links for April 6th
- A List of Recources on Biblical Pacifism » gathering in light – Do not go gentle into that good night.
- Here is a good list of resources on biblical pacifism. Worth keeping within easy reach, for sure.
Links for April 4th
- Rickey Cotton's Blog
- "The desert is the call to go beyond oneself and be transfigured in the presence of the Holy One."
Links for April 2nd
- “Women Should Remain Silent”? – Mimi Haddad – God’s Politics Blog
- It's a sad, and for me utterly unacceptable failure of modern exegesis, that the issue of whether women can speak in public worship still comes up in the church. But since it does, there are the tireless voices that state and restate responsible interpretations of Paul. Thank God for them.
Links for April 1st
- Why Designing Products and Services is a Team Sport – Peter Merholz – HarvardBusiness.org
- 'In his book Inside Steve's Brain, Leander Kahney explains Apple's design and development process: "Under Jobs' guidance, products are developed through nearly endless rounds of mockups and prototypes that are constantly edited and revised. This is true for both hardware and software [and their retail stores, it turns out]. Products are passed back and forth among designers, programmers, engineers, managers, and then back again. It's not serial."'
Links for March 31st
- sin kills god: why jesus had to die“
- Interesting look at the death of Jesus. I find this to be fascinating, as I do not subscribe to the idea that penal substitution is the end all of atonement theology. I resonate strongly with several of the other explanations, including this one.
- After Christendom, before meltdown | andrewperriman
- "We likewise need to leave the ruins of the Christendom mindset and set out across the difficult, broken terrain of post-modernity… but to what end? What will be our suffering – our 'tribulation'? What will be our parousia? What will be our vindication?"
- Killing America’s brands, one lousy C.E.O. at a time. « The BrandBuilder Blog
- In light of my post the other day on the government's right to get rid of CEOs of companies that it has bailed out, this is a good read to indicate how it shouldn't be Wagoner or his replacement trying to run GM.
Links for March 30th
- Is Your Company Designed for Humans? – Peter Merholz – HarvardBusiness.org
- I forgot to link to this article last week. Very unique design article. "Research over the last couple of decades has shown that not to be true, that our minds, our thoughts, our emotions are very much the result of an interplay between our brains and our bodies. I know I think better not when sitting, but when given the freedom to move around (if I have to sit, I end up fidgeting). Those thoughts that emerge in the shower are very much the product of immersion in hot water."
