Multi Site yes- Video Venue no I'm beginning the process of preparing for a debate I'll be doing in late September at the MultiSite 2.0 conference in St. Louis. The debate will be between myself and Larry Osborne, pastor of North Coast Church in Vista Ca. I hope it's a spirited, yet good-natured discussion of the theological and philosophical foundations of video venues and the ways the medium shapes both message and messenger. I know a number of people were wondering when my name came up on emails/ads for this conference- my participation didn't seem congruent. But rest assured- I remain steadfastly in the multisite yes, video venue no camp :) Why? To me, multi site begins to turn back some of the most harmful effects of the mega church. Smaller, more localized gatherings is something I'll always be able to get behind, even if it does come under the umbrella of a much larger organization. It feels like a step back from the precipice that "mega" everything pushes us toward. But if multisite steps us back from the precipice, I feel like video venues gives us a good hard shove over and down. What we gain back in terms of smaller, more local gatherings is...

Portland: Jesus' Favorite City From USA Today: Evangelism 2.0 Stereotypes simply don’t apply these days in Portland, Ore. A conservative Christian minister and an openly gay mayor of this progressive city provide a glimpse of what could be Christianity’s future. Welcome to “Jesus’ favorite city.” By Tom Krattenmaker PORTLAND, Ore. — This city, it would seem, is the last place where evangelical Christianity would show its brightest colors. The Rose City sports an ultrasecular reputation. The voting tendencies here are as blue as the Columbia River on a clear-sky day. Regional land and transportation planning is so progressive that conservative pundit George Will has likened the Portland ethos to a disease, worrying in a column about it "metastasizing" to other parts of the country. And we have, of course, a gay, liberal mayor. Yet a pair of City Hall officials and a famed international evangelist had the audacity to stand together at a Baptist church altar earlier this year and declare Portland "Jesus' favorite city"? They did, and with their tongues only 90-something% in cheek. Read the rest here
