The best idea to come down the pipes of the Emergent/Missional/Post-Evangelical community in quite some time.


That's right, it's the Missional Facebook, also known as Missional Tribe. As far as I'm aware, it's the first social networking site specifically for the Emergent/Missional/Post-Evangelical set.

Wanna connect with the likes of Brother Maynard (of Subversive Influence fame), Andrew Jones (of Tall Skinny Kiwi fame), Frank Viola (of Pagan Christianity and Reimagining Church fame), Jonathan Brink (of Missio Dei fame), Kathy Escobar (of the carnival in my head fame), Steve Knight (of Emergent Village fame), Kingdom Grace (of, well, Kingdom Grace fame) and, of course, yours truly?

Wanna be part of an online community that's not primarily about high-tech gossip, but rather,

… offers a collaborative space to connect people and generate an accepting, supportive community that intentionally seeks for diversity.

… fosters dialogue in a respectful environment and gathers grassroots stories for mutual encouragement, teaching, and support.

… focuses on serving practitioners through resources, ideas, and stories from the front lines of incarnational engagement and radical transformation.

… shares the nitty-gritty of living our faith and sharing our life in order to break anyone’s sense of isolation on this journey, especially when a virtual support network may be the only community currently available.

… creates an “evergreen” space to capture and continue the collective wisdom of those seeking to pursue Christlikeness, stewarding it in ways that will keep it accessible beyond the first generation of participants.

… encourages using the website as a social space for befriending people of similar (or opposite!) interests, as a discussion space for interactive learning, and as an archive space for links and materials that might otherwise be forgotten.

… engages in discussion of any topic about the missional journey, with a minimum of gate keeping and oversight to maintain it as a safe place for all so that nothing would be off limits except for bullying or belittling others.

… celebrates both individual and communal expressions of a missional paradigm, and constantly seeks to broaden its demographic reach because of its commitment to embrace and learn from the diversity in Christ’s Kingdom.
