Hi Mark, yes I am a "lurker" sort of look through the curtain from time to time look and see what's happenin'. I live in Victoria, British Coloumbia...a little island off the west coast of Canada. Always great to drop in here to be challenged, provoked by your thoughts...and conversations that many are missing or avoiding. Peace...Ron, I'll be cak to lurk somemore.

Hey Mark. I've been reading for almost two years now i think....i'm pretty sure i de-lurked last year as well. I read cos you've got a rare ability to be critical without coming anywhere close to defensive or whiny. And the fact that you "play well with others" when it comes to the Church universal is pretty inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
James

I'm not sure if you told me the URL or if I found it through searching for InterVarsity on technorati. I've been reading since late summer/fall. I read because you make me think, and I want to hear about your Missio Dei stuff. Also staff blogs are rare, and staff blogs of people within the support-gathering process are rarer.

Hello "Amelythia"--if that is your REAL name. Maybe you are ready for the next step--a blog of your own! I don't think you'd have any problem finding things to blog about (your work is unique, your church experience is unique, and the stuff you have to put up with from your husband is unique). I'll even help you set it up.

I originally found you surfing, and think I stumbled upon you by a now non-exisitant website that listed emergent communities all over the country. I visited virtually for a long time - then finally attended a Theology Pub. Lurking ever since. I am not super smarty enough to understand your lingo sometimes, so I tend not to comment. But - I try to keep coming back, because I know that every once in a while, I understand what you are saying, and it's good food to chew on. I'm in the cities, and will continue to hold you and yours in prayer. Bless you.

I think I found your blog when I was trying to find out more about urban monasticism and things like that.

There's a meeting place for those interested in that here:

i'm from your house

i discovered you through camp joy

i discovered your blog through the links you would email me to encourage me to read your blog

i've been a sporadic reader since a few months after you started blogging (only reading specific blogs when you asked me to or when a group of our friends would reference something you blogged about that I hadn't read). recently I've actually been keeping up with your posts.

reading your blog reminds me of hearing your thoughts on long walks and car trips. the walks and the trips are still my favorite format, just for the record.

i knew you in the flesh before i knew you in the cyber-sphere. i read your blog because it puts into words the feelings i have long had in my heart and mind. and i learn so much from all the big words you use.

sorry i won't be able to make it to your birthday gathering.

i miss your face.

Thanks Jane. Fair enough--I do need to balance out the masculinity of my links. I wonder if the lack of links to female bloggers is because I subconsciously connect more, somehow, with male bloggers or if it is because there aren't as many female emerging bloggers. I'll have to ponder that...

One thing that could remedy the situation a bit would be if you started a blog and sent me the link :)

Hey Mark -

Happy Birthday, old man! Hope to see you at an Emergent lunch some time. God is pulling me deeper into pastoring, justice and postmodernism. I'm thrilled you're writing the book - you go!

Love what you're doing - only comment - you need more women's emerging blog sites....

Shalom;
Jane

Hi Mark -- I like the new look. We're acquainted a bit already (MySpace friends!), but I guess I started reading your blog about a year ago, probably while looking for Ekklesia Project-related folks. Very much looking forward to seeing how the new blog develops, as well as the book.

Mark,

I'm trying to remember how I found your blog... someone in the emergent conversation, no doubt. I lurk around a bunch of those blogs :> Hoping to stay consistent with my own blogging this year and maybe actually get to know some fellow bloggers.
