Panel Discussion with Shane Claiborne
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : March 13, 2008
The other day I was a part of a panel conversation with Shane Claiborne, Neeraj Mehta, Tim Essenberg, and Sanda Unger. If you’d like to watch it, it is now available at the Bethel Student Association website.
The evening began with Shane sharing for about 15 minutes. The rest is Shane facilitating a conversation among panelists. If you don’t know which one is me, just look for the chubby dude in the faux military garb. ![]()

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.


Mark… I loved the 20 awkward silence… At first I was like…. “oh mark”. But then I liked it.
My husband Rob, and I, were there. It was really a great night, and you did not come across like a tool.
Congratulations on your upcoming babybirth! That’s such an exciting time.
Thanks Bonny.
