Welcome UM Reporter readers!

Hello, an abridged version of my “What the Chuch can Learn from Wikipedia” series has appeared in the September 5th edition of the United Methodist Reporter.

  • What United Methodists Can Learn from Wikipedia

To that end…welcome to the first-time readers!  Here’s some resources for you:

Important Note

  • I need to give credit where credit is due.  While I reference Clay Shirky’s book in the article and build on his work in original ways, the term “half-life of knowledge” is his.  While I turned it into the “half-life of discipleship” and feel confident that the rest of the article is acceptable, I wanted to ensure that Shirky got credit for that particular term.  Read his book, it is amazing:
    • Clay Shirky, Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing without Organizations (Penguin Press: New York, 2008)
