I surveyed those in our first gathering of Revolution Church Sacramento and asked who used twitter. No hands went up. I was a little put out knowing that I feel twitter is an instrument that we will use to help create our story as we journey through life together, but to know that no one in the house would connect with it kind of bummed me out. However, I am sure that Jobs & Wozniac went through similar things when they had the vision for Apple and here we are utilizing the fruit of their labors. Same is probably true for those that pushed for the internet in the early days. Eventually, people are going to get the implications of twitter and what an amazing resource it is to aid in collaboration and freedom of expression. I just too robust of an experience not to take shape in some form that honors God and helps build relevant community.

Some days I think what ministry would be like if there were an earthquake that absorbed central California into the Pacific Ocean and merged Sacramento and San Diego into one new community with us working together to share the vision God has placed in our heart side-by-side. For now, I appreciate the opportunity to experience that virtually through twitter and your eloquent blog :)

Would love to hear more in the future about how you’re applying this in the ecclesiological setting; intriguing the implications of “open-sourcing the church”
