Justin over at RadicalCongruency is starting a group blog called Emerging Evangelism. He says:

The purpose of this site is to discuss evangelism in a postmodern, emerging-church context. Why another blog?

• The need for a group of people to be thinking together on this important topic
• The need for a more neutral and anonymous place to discuss this sensitive topic other than personal blogs
• The need for a more centralized place to have this conversation

If you are interested in joining, please email me at justin at baederresources.com with your:

• Name
• Blog URL
• Church context & background (briefly)

I would like to have as many contributors as possible, but for a variety of reasons it’s going to be limited to those who already have a blog (mainly to prevent it from becoming someone’s personal blog where they start to post livejournal memes and other junk).

Why should you think about contributing?

• There has not been enough conversation on evangelism in the emerging church
• Consequently, people are often still thinking in terms inappropriate for their contexts
• Much has been learned about evangelism in postmodern/emerging contexts, and the knowledge needs to be found, shared, and discussed
• It hasn’t all been figured out yet – there remains a great theological task to be done

I hope you’ll consider joining. The site will go live in a few days; hopefully, there will be a dozen or so contributors ready to post by then.
