I was interested to read over the last few weeks that Scot McKnight, Dan Kimball and others are forming a new network which will be allied with Emergent Village but be different in a few ways.
The main ones seem to be:
This makes sense to me. If a group shares some of your priorities and focus but differs in ways that are significant to you, forming your own group which is friends with theirs seems like a better option to me than trying to change their priorities and focus until they match yours.
I suppose my favorite network would be one that emphasizes kindness, respect and practical involvement in activities that make the world a better place. The statement of belief would be that you believe in those things.

A couple of months ago Tyler set up a free podcast for us. He’s been adding a new episode once a week, using the best of our audio recordings made at various Off The Map’s events.
So far the episodes feature Jim and Casper, Brian McLaren, Todd Hunter, Jim Wallis, Dan Kimball and Scot McKnight.
The most recent one is the Outsiders Interview in which Jim and Todd interviewed four young people (two Christians and two people who aren’t Christians) about their views on some controversial topics.
If you subscribe in itunes and write a short review of the podcast for us on our itunes page that will help us be featured on itunes.
For other ways to access the podcast online, including an RSS feed link, go to our podcast page.
