Five years ago, we began the experiment that was ‘Hacking Christianity’ which melded an approach to computer systems with the pursuit of expressions of the Christian faith.

Our blog post on TOMs shoes and evaluating charitable giving “Glam/Missional” has been adapted and made into an article in the Spring/Summer 2011 edition of The Progressive Christian (link). The Progressive Christian is formerly [...]
Wow…three years? Yup. First public post was in April 2008, a few weeks before General Conference 2008. Wild. Here’s a stroll down memory lane for longtime readers and a few new reading pieces for newcomers. Favorite posts from the first year: Mission Holiness Rankings of UM Seminaries [snarky piece making fun of Andrew Thompson that [...]
