'Wiki Encyclopedia of CityReaching' is sponsored by the 'Center For Urban Innovation'... "Training Innovative Multicultural CityReachers."
What Is The Cityreaching Movement?
Moving the CityReaching discussion forward:
Vocabulary Discussion Initiative:
- Vocabulary Participants... Bill Sunderland (Seattle, LI), Phil Miglioratti (Chicago, FB), Jarvis Ward (Pearl, FB), Glenn Barth (Minneapolis, LI), Gail Dudley, Stonecroft Ministries (ColumbusOH, LI), Jeff Bass (Boston), Dennis Fuqua (Portland, Info), Steve Capper (Houston, FB), Jay Richmond (Scotia, bio link), Phill Butler (Seattle, LI), John Quam (Minneapolis, LI), Chas Daugherty (Cedar Rapids), Rich Carney (NAMB, Strategic Cities, some presentations), Peter Zwere, Heidi Unruh, Neil Cox (Indianapolis, FB, LI). Travis Vaughn (Atlanta)
- Calls are normally recorded and the audios should be available... yes?
- Anyone... please help clarify this list of names (maybe even linking to their primary location on the web.]
Vocabulary Initiative: Notes below during our telecon call 11/21/2008...
- Whole gospel? Heidi, Travis, Jeff... go work on it. (btw, Lausanne 2010 will be addressing this)
- put docs on cityreaching.com.
- [at least temporarily, I've posted Heidi's documents here in the wiki, with permission]
- start online discussion re terms (ie, vetting them)... someday.
- 'process'? toward 'indicators'/'metrics'?
Vocabulary Initiative: Notes below during our telecon call 11/11/2008...
- We didn't really have a quorum... we'll reschedule... but add 'teamwork' to the list of terms to work on.
Vocabulary Initiative: Notes below during our telecon call 8/20/2008...
- Attendance... Bill Sunderland (Seattle, LI), Phil Miglioratti (Chicago, FB), Jarvis Ward (Pearl, FB), Glenn Barth (Minneapolis, LI), Gail Dudley (ColumbusOH, LI), Jeff Bass (Boston), Dennis Fuqua (Portland, Info), Steve Capper (Houston, FB), Jay Richmond (Scotia, bio link), Phill Butler (Seattle, LI), John Quam (Minneapolis, LI), Chas Daugherty (Cedar Rapids), Rich Carney Atlanta, Peter Zwere, Neil Cox (Indianapolis, FB, LI).
- Call is being recorded and the audio will be available.
- Neil is taking notes -- I'd appreciate any & all help in tidying up this writing. Eg, help clarify this list of names (maybe even linking to their primary location on the web.]
- The Need for Vocabulary... Talk about that... What are you sensing in the movement, about the need for nomenclature? Some comments heard today... John Chapter 1... The Word is important. Some common words used that might need defining... 'transformation'... 'cityreaching'... 'cityreachers'... 'core values'... evangelical... success... whole church... wholegospel... wholecity... RayBakke's terms... (Glenn: also various 'branches'... eg... presence-based prayer... ccda-focus... evangelism-focus... wholechurch (unity) approach... marketplace-approach.) Acknowledging some previous work in nomenclature... especially in English context.
- Our Role & Potential Impact... Bill positioned this by first explaining the CHART re process & outcomes... Stages, Processes, to Sectors, to Success in CityReaching (Kingdom of God is evident in the city). Ok, what is our ROLE now re vocabulary and its potential impact? PhilM noted that this is an MAC effort albeit with a great desire for the result to become a helpful tool for others such as CCDA. Gail Dudley mentioned that youth vocabulary is very different from ours and we need to understand the different languages... Chas mentioned an Atlanta doc 8-page re 'words' and wants to add 20-30 more words... Rich asked for a clarification of what we mean by process... Per Bill... process means, from starting point of zero, how do we get to successful list of outcomes of kingdom evidenced in the city... meaning, what are the process-steps along the way. Glenn's recent dissertation (available upon request).... addresses decentralized nature of cityreaching right now. Jeff intimates that vocabulary must come before process. Phill gives an example... airplanes... though used in wildly different ways and using different construction resources... yet pilots & engineers, etc. still all use the same language. Peter... alluded to the precision of dental terms used among a dental team, yet importantly realizing we must speak in 'common terms'. Neil... suggested as a practical start we should first define 'success' first, then move to defining the phrases in our our slogan... 'whole church', 'whole gospel', 'whole city'... and then define 'taking' (ie, the process). PhilM... no rush, do it right. Glenn... jarvis please do be the point guy on this; not me. Steve... expressed a lot of interest and would be willing to contribute asynchronously. Gail, same way. We'll do this in a small group, via email... collecting some significant documents, and perhaps prioritize some of them to be read by everyone.
- Process & Health Indicators... (not really covered, other than to realize we're not yet ready with vocabulary to even discuss process)
- Disseminate Notes from today. Neil is taking notes... and will send to Bill to dissemminate. Bill will also make the audio available.
- Convene a small writing committee to start assimilating documents.... and perhaps distilling them down to a few for the whole group to read/study.
- Bill Sunderland
- Phil Miglioratti
- Jarvis Ward
- Steve Capper
- Gail Dudley
- Everyone on the Vocabulary team is invited to submit meaningful documents for consideration. [Send them to _____ ?]
