Into the Cocoon.
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : October 9, 2007
Today, I enter the blogging cocoon. There will be blog silence between now and October 22nd, at which time jesusmanifesto.com will emerge as a beautiful butterfly (figuratively speaking).
On October 22nd, jesusmanifesto.com will cease to be my lone voice. Together we will ask “how do we follow Jesus in the American Empire.” Don’t worry, I’ll still post as much as ever. But there will be more voices.
You can’t harmonize with just one voice. On October 22nd, jesusmanifesto will become a chorus.
- If you’d like to be one of the voices in the choir, let me know (just click the contact link above). We’re looking for people who can commit to posting weekly and bi-weekly.
- If you’d be willing to submit guest articles, let me know.
- If you like what you’ve read here in the past and would like to help spread the word about our coming emergence as a collaborative blog, please blog about it. Get the word out.
Talk to you again in 2 weeks.
UPDATE:
You can add a sidebar banner for Jesus Manifesto to help get the word out. Here’s the code:
<a href=”http://www.jesusmanifesto.com/”>

Christarchy! is a growing network of small groups for people who want to put the ethical teachings of Jesus into practice.
Submergent is a network of leaders who, embracing the Anabaptist impulse, are living into the Kingdom of God in a postmodern, post-colonial, post-Christian world. Together, we will re-baptize the Christian imagination!
Anchored in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis, Missio Dei is committed to following Jesus' way of peace, simplicity, prayer, and hospitality.
The Missio Dei Breviary includes morning and evening prayers for one month. Edited (and freely shared) by Missio Dei, it draws primarily upon the Gospels, reflects Anabaptist convictions, and emphasizes missional commitment.



Crap. I will miss your love voice.
I hate typos!
I just ran across you blog today and thought I’d leave a short comment. I’m fascinated by what your doing in Minneapolis. I live on the north side and share similar interests. Perhaps we could do coffee.
