Now this is interesting!
Adrian Warnock announces the public opening of The City for the Gospel Coalition – and yes, there’s an Australian subsection!
My friend Lynne, who was working over at Mars Hill earlier this year told me all about this fantastic tool. Apparently it’s used by pastors, laymembers, and has all sorts of groups which dialogue and meet to discuss things – and it seems to work there very well. Basically, it was developed over at Mars Hill for their own networking – both administratively, and socially.
Here’s what Adrian Warnock says:
“Whenever this [The City] is spoken about, the thrust behind it is to build real community not just an online “virtual” community. Thus, in the life of Mars Hill Church it is where people connect to small groups, interact with each other, share prayer requests, share practical needs, and many other things.
It seems that a similar philosophy is behind the version of the network developed for the Gospel Coalition. If you attend one of their conferences, you can use this tool to keep in touch with friends you meet there. If you want to find other gospel-focused Christians who live near enough to you to make face-to-face meetings a possibility, the tool can also help you find them.“
I’m not really sure how it all works yet, nor how it’ll work in Oz, but I’ve signed up, and I’ll see what happens!
