New things come with the new year! This week I’m launching 2 new goodies for Asian Americans:
The best-known wiki in the world is Wikipedia, which in essence has supplanted the likes of Encyclopedia Britannica, amassing the wisdom of the crowd, so anyone & everyone with bits of knowledge can contribute by editing web pages live. I’ve setup the Asian American church plants wiki b/c I don’t know everything everywhere. So if you know some new church plants that aren’t listed, register for a free account, and add it to the wiki!
“New churches have freedom to be innovative,” observes [Pastor Tim] Keller, his own congregation [Redeemer Presbyterian Church] the fruit of a church plant in 1989. “They become the ‘research and development’ department for the whole body of Christ in a city. They attract a higher percentage of venturesome people who value creativity, risk, innovation and future orientation.” — from by Faith Online
And, over at the L2 Foundation Blog, I’ll be blogging on behalf of the private foundation that’s developing leadership and legacy for Asian Americans. As I find useful resources, I’ll blog about them over there. I also hope to add interviews and case studies there also.
Hey DJ, thanks for setting up the Wiki, great links and much needed!
nice wiki. do you know about my buddy, Elton Lin’s church in san jose: Haven? He planted it with Victor Wong. check it out: http://www.ihaven.org
Ben, that’s the beauty of a wiki, you (and others) can sign in (for free) and add/edit the list(s) there! I’ve added Haven now, thanks for the tip! If you know of others, just login there and add them!
[...] DJ Chuang took what Peter and I wrote and put on his L2 Foundation blog. So far, I don’t think it registered with anyone else (MS Thach might be the exception because he has been the lone ranger who engineered our roadmap, which I am following). But may be I am biased because FirstGen people don’t do "blog". But if you discount that bias, perhaps I am right when I discount any expectation from the first generation. However, you must know that I am not keen on doing independent church for the next generation either. I believe in interdependent, symbiotic relationships between both generations. [...]
