Bill Kinnon Calling Me Out! (or the problem with Internet Church/Many house churches) Here to what I wrote on I wrote here on Out of Ur (pt 1, pt 2) about some of my thoughts on Internet Church. Okay- so he's not calling me out, per se- but kind of! :) We're really saying the same thing, each of us in our provocative way. And actually, I appreciate this kind of dialogue. Of course, there is some pushback that's less appreciated. Perry Noble has also responded, mainly about Video Venues...

This was more like a bunch of people who knew how to work the system (many were coming from one meal a few blocks over and many more were preparing to go just a block down for yet another meal after- with it possible to get free breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the week now in PDX, no one needs to go hungry here). But, slowly, I've come to appreciate, and even look forward to being there. I think it's impacting me in a very good way. 1st, there's the compassion thing. I recognize that there ARE a lot of folks on the street who for one reason or another choose to be there. Yeah- it's a hard life, but being a "normal" to them is probably harder, so this is what they prefer. But in spite of those folks, every time...
