Today is the first day of participation in a collaborative blog called MissioScapes (found at www.missioscapes.com). I and a number of my formerly trouble making friends are the editors. We are all trying to stay on the “straight and narrow,” so pray that the half-way house doesn’t get too crowded.
I’m joined by David Phillips, the Littleton wonder twins (Todd and Paul), Art Rogers and Alan Cross, all familiar to many readers of this blog and my previous blog, sbcoutpost.com.
Our goal is to avoid SBC politics and most SBC matters altogether (following our first series, “If We Were The GCR Task Force…”), choosing rather to engage from an intentionally missional perspective. We will also be featuring writers from non-SBC (and non-baptist) backgrounds to gain a point of view that we inherently lack.
We all feel that this will be a worthwhile effort and invite you to read along and participate when you have something to contribute.
Marty,
Just when the guillotine is being rolled out, you guys jump ship. Oh well, I guess we’ll have to get our unbiased coverage and behind the scenes scoops from Baptist Press. :-) With heads possibly rolling at NAMB and Xcomm, is it not going to be tempting to supply commentary?
I guess the Billy Joel song may be appropriate, “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

It’s apt to be hard to hit a moving target. Maybe you ought to name it Missionscapees.
Looking forward to reading it.

Ah Yes, I remember it well. SBCOutpost. Those were the days. But now we are older and wiser right? OK, I’m not wiser, but I am older. :)
I am looking forward to reading.
