Cluetrain Theses Number 5: People recognize voice People recognize each other as such from the sound of this voice. People are drawn to authenticity.  It communicates to them that their own uniqueness will be appreciated,  and that their own strengths will be encouraged and enabled in such an environment.   Read more in Theses 5 11:40:59 AM    comment []

Cluetrain Theses Number 4: Uncontrived Voice Whether delivering information, opinions, perspectives, dissenting arguments or humorous asides, the human voice is typically open, natural, uncontrived. Here,  the Church can be an unwitting violator.  The range of "theological speak" lexicons from which to draw is staggering.  Church sites are ful of this.  Some can be effective,  but usually only to the initiaited (IOW, "Preaching to the Choir").  See Theses 4 article 11:25:33 AM    comment []

Christian Community Values over Business Processes My sense is that there should be more similarities in practice  to COS-style Christian communities within Christian corporations than there are to "business and management practices".  Where there is talk about being "servants of the Church" ,  the life of that community should hold more in common with the relational values pursued in Christian communities rather than those of economically driven, secular business values often expressed with specialized language that seems to flow from business management schools rather than from Christian values and the process of discernment and the discovery and utilization of gifts.   I say more on this in The Three P's 11:00:27 AM    comment []
