A few friends helped put together a new e-book and website recently, C is for Church, and have made it available for you to download (free or pay what you want).
“C is for church” is a collective conversation for the Church at large. It’s a step towards open-sourcing the discussions happening behind the closed doors of many church staffs.
Everyone from Senior Pastors to Support Staff to Administrative Staff to Church Members engaged in conversations that led to the published study. (over 100 hours of one-on-one discussions)
Common motifs were discovered amidst the convos and are illustrated via typography. Each theme is meant to provoke a thought rather than provide an answer.
I read through it last night and thought it was an easy (and important) read for many of my friends so I’m passing it along to you as well.
I’d encourage you to download it, read it and then if you get a chance, let me know what you think.
Also, as you read the document/manifesto you’ll also notice several references in the e-book to Seth Godin’s book, Tribes. If you’re interested in building community — it’s a must read as well.
My mates Thomas and Stewart talked about the book on our podcast right after it came out — if you want a “short summary” of Tribes you can listen to their discussion. Part 1, Part 2
I hope you enjoy the e-book — I’d love to get your thoughts on it if you get the chance.
