Review: Why am I blogging here?
22 Sep 2008
So my site www.jasonclark.ws has been turned into my web 2.0 mashup, a kind of contact and front door to my flickr/fireeagle/twitter/facebook micro and nano blogging world.
My blogging that used to be there will now take place on this site. You can search the archive at www.jasonclark.ws for old content and posts, in fact since January 2004, I posted 1,472 items with 10,359 non spam real world comments.
Why did I move my blogging to the Deep Church site?
1. Others: I’m collaborating with others, more so than ever within a particular focus, and doing that under ‘deep church’ instead of my name, seems more open for others to write with me.
2. New Focus: I’m changing my focus for blogging, as I alluded previously, and will blog about that over the next few weeks. I’ll detail why I am going to talk of my emerging church connection as something in the past, and use that language less going forward. And I’ll explain why.
3. Social Media Mashup & Portal: I wanted my named site to have the micro/nano social media world, and my blog which is a bit more old school.

Perhaps you remember meeting with me at the Burlington Hotel a couple years ago. We discussed my frustration with “church,” at which you challenged me to engage rather than disengage. So here I am in Maritime Canada, engaging in life with a small community of people trying to follow Jesus and engage with their broader worlds. Looking forward to considering what’s written from the pastoral/practitioner (rather than the external critic) perspective.

Hello back to you; I’m slowly getting my feet back under me after yet another significant transition. Must admit I enjoy the fact that I have only been on two airplanes since early 2007! Let me know if you are ever coming this way.

Nice move Jase,
I’ll particularly look forward to your reflection on the use of deep church over emergent as a point of orientation.

Jason, how are you? The new site looks great.
How is the new MAML cohort? I hope they find your class as formational as I did! Alan Hirsch (The Shaping of Things to Come)was one of many great reads from the class, and now he is a prof. this semester at GFES. So I have been processing his thoughts (in The Forgotten Ways) on Liquid Church up against yours/Deep Church.
So you are probably going to be in Portland in October. I’d love to say “hi’ and buy you a coffee or something.

Hi John, I’m at GFU 9-12 October. Not sure when I’m free from teaching, but maybe breakfast one morning?
Great to hear from you.
