About Indy Christian Geeks...
Next meeting... Noon Feb. 29th... location to be announced. We will try to ensure that our monthly meetings appear on the 'Indy Timeline'... which is always accessible via IndyChristian.com.
See our official site... IndyChristianGeeks.com . (official info re meeting dates/times/locations MAY be there)
...but perhaps we'll find some value of having this wiki-page to (do what?)...
- free-form writing here for quick notes during our lunch meetings?
- links to things we talked about? (or should we simply TAG those items during the meeting?)
- SEARCHability of things we discuss, by other users of the wiki -- whether in Indy or beyond.
- practicing using wikis as perhaps the MOST COLLABORATIVE, especially at the low-barrier-to-entry end of the spectrum of users.
- maybe help 'geeks' from other cities have an initial place to put up a page, to attract others in their cities, to the concept.
- to formulate our Statement of Faith, and Purpose/Mission statement. Tom Ho (founder) appointed a few of us to work on it as a 'committee' (can you imagine, geeks using the C-word? LOL)
- If one of our core-values is a growing ability to expedite COLLABORATION... and if collaboration can occur best among cityreachers here in this cityreaching wiki, then let me suggest that we (as ICG) at the very least frequently point folks to this CityReaching wiki... rather than modeling the samo-same traditional model of splitting everything out to 'our own name-branded' website. Let's especially focus on Web2.0 types of gadgets & gizmos that can BEST model the new ways of using multiple sites effectively as they INTERACT well. Make sense?
- What Else???
Anybody want to take a first shot at formulating the Statement of Faith, and the Purpose statement, below?
Statement of Faith -- enumerate bullet points you'd be willing to die for?
Purpose Statement? -- enumerate the bullet points you'd be willing to commit time to?
- We share the common mission/purpose of the Church of Jesus Christ... to go into all the world and make disciple-makers... teaching them to obey everything Jesus taught... such as is rolled-up into His two summary commands... "Love the Lord your God with all your everything... and Love your neighbors as yourselves."
- Passion for Innovation... Our unique giftedness -- to be leveraged & exploited for the common mission -- is... our passion for innovation.
- Hositable Discussion Forum... We're all at different levels of capabilities, and our applied uses for innovations may well be different... Thus one part of our purpose is to create a hospitable forum for discussion & learning from each other.
- Who do we serve? Even if we ONLY do the above items, we effectively serve the cause of Christ by sharpening quite a number of leading-edge influencers-at-the-speed-of-Light. If we further define others we serve, let's enumerate them below...
- We especially desire to serve those the Lord called "the least of these". In return, we gain the benefit of learning more about FAITH, from some of these folks. Eg... "Those the world regards as poor are RICH IN FAITH." (yet we know the opposite is also true... "It is HARD for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." So we especially serve inner-city ministries in need of greater tech capabilities... such as the TechMission program (we call 'Ask Anything Saturday') at the Unleavened Bread Cafe. As God blesses us, we hope to grow our numbers and capabilities such that we can add more & more urban locations to the network of TechMission type programs for the inner city.
