Weekend Linkage has been absent for the last several weeks, so this week’s will be quite large. Only the best though, there were plenty to choose from.
- You’ve heard of fair trade coffee and bananas…now Music at NoiseTrade.com
- One of my passions, and now part of my job, is the future of the church. This Relevant article, 7 Big Questions, reminds me of some questions friends and I asked some of these church leaders several years ago that shaped our journey for the next several years.
- This good bio on Lesslie Newbigin is a must-read primer for an upcoming series I’m going to be doing on missional, that should start this week.
- Another church deciding to give it away instead!
- Whoops!
- Time covers Mandela’s 8 Leadership Lessons for Madiba’s birthday a couple of weeks ago. Interesting reading.
- Well alright. I’ll admit drummers are physically fit, we can’t just lump them in with athletes now can we?
- The Mav’s Eric Dampier is in the top 10 in the NBA (top 10 worst contracts that is)
- TV needs to evolve, the average age of TV watchers is now close to 50
- Bill Gates on Creative Capitalism – he mentions one night he was at a bar with Bono, I guess that just strikes me funny, never the less a good article
- The scary side of grass roots politics, I’m praying the situation in Zim is resolved soon.
- A Wall-e review like none other (at least that I’ve seen), very interesting.
- I’m freaking out about the Mavs right now.
- A fun post to think about: String theory, God, and Music
- Sam telling the truth about Christianity in the UK and Europe.
- Another entry from James Reynolds’ China. This one is sad, but they’re all interesting.
- Re-inventing the internet…
- Several people in my neighborhood got ticketed for weeds after being on vacation or preparing to give birth!
- WSJ illustration of new religious beliefs survey
That’s all for this weekend, I’m off to Great Vespers. Next week I’ll start a series on what missional means and why it matters to me, probably give an update on the new rhythm and another one on the 50 Books goal, and if you’re lucky I’ll weigh in on Election ‘08.
Peace
