e-church com.munity weblog: Christian Warmongering

I agree with Tim here , too.   And yes,  it is sad.

"The truth is that without a milieu of war, the conservative church does not have much to say. They are reactionary without a progressive agenda. They are best at warmongering -- and lost otherwise. I fear September 11 just gave them something to say -- most of which I disagree with strangely!"

I feel strongly here about this,  since having the Southern Baptist fiasco witch-hunt of the mid to late 80's -early 90's,  where the battle cry was to rid the denomination's leadership of the dangerous liberals (and along with them,  many of the "moderates" who may well not be liberal but nevertheless opposed to making certain theological beliefs a "litmus test".  I describe a bit of my experience with this in The Southern Baptist Convention

Other themes in harmony with what Tim describes in  Islam Hijacked

e-church com.munity weblog: Church Sites

I like it:

Tim at e-church:

"Church Sites Would it not be amazing if the (or any) church had a secure, private Intranet where it could centralize information and communications to its members. This could transform the idea of church from just influencing us on Sundays -- to being a daily destination/relationship with our church family."

Good stuff, Tim. I absolutely agree, and do we not think our "business" every bit as worthy (actually, more) as companies with "IntraNets", which are built to serve the planning, strategizing, and Knowledge Management needs of their organizations? We in the church need to use tools to help us at our tasks as well. I certainly see a church community having its tentacles into the ether, to enable all the "mobile" on-the-fly scheduling, reminders, online "support groups" etc. that are private in nature.

Correction to earlier post

IN this post on Sunday I blogged one of Ron Lusk's entries,  but I neglected to notice that he was quoting,  and made it look like Ron had said it.  He corrected me

Ron's original blog (my title): Infoweek Column Disses KM via Weblogs. From Ron Lusk's Radio Weblog
The subject of the blog: CIO article on Blogging

Richard Gayle of Man with a Ph.D.wrote:

Got the link from The FuzzyBlog!].

What a crock. One of the big ideas about the combination of weblogs with aggregators is that you only get information about blogs that YOU decide are interesting, not the writer.

Everyone needs to find hours per week to stay current. But, if people subscribe to newsfeeds for the journals, a single reader can filter out the relevant articles and post them to their weblog. I subscribed to over 50 newsfeeds for biology journals. I could browse over 300 articles in less than 1 hour, posting the important ones to my blog to be read later. That is right. Browse and make posts. I could then link to the article when I had the time. It was incredibly efficient, especially compared to reading each journal TOC individually. Others could then get to the important new literature quickly.

John Robb posts a response to this guy who wrote the article that Ron Comments on here
(09/18/02 7am) so this should say , instead,  the article that Richard Gayle comments on here. Link below.

Sorry, Dale, but I snagged this one from Richard Gayle [Ron Lusk's Radio Weblog]
