[...] Yesterday was a day of great conversation as I had the opportunity to twitter-chat with @gregatkinson about Church 2.0 / Church 3.0 / Church .5 which began out of discourse from my post on Church 3.0 as Open Source. [...]

I agree with you – suggested resource confirming this trend’ “The Starfish and the spider”

Jose, glad you joined in though! I think there's so much to be added here (and of course it isn't fully fleshed out yet).

have a great weekend and take it easy1

I am quite new to this discussion (at large) but on the software and media side of things the church is not open… probably should be and will get there. Especially when more and more people begin to realize that the open and networked nature of web 2.0 is an amazing vehicle to reach the lost. I definitely need to think more about this … thanks for pushing me forward on the topic.

@Greg,

As mentioned in my tweet, I believe Church2.0 has elements of open source, but it’s not as open as people believe.

Just take a look at apps being developed right now… where do you see open standards? it’s certainly not a standard… yet.

my thought is that church 2.0 is really web 1.0 (this is super simple processing here, but I think my point can be understood).

church 3.0 is web 2.0 for the mainstream, and so-on.

Please know that I like and agree with your blog post – it’s just that what you’re talking about IS Church 2.0.

As I’ve traveled the country speaking to Church leaders the last 8 years, I’ve found that most of the Church is at 0.5 – it’s a HUGE stretch to get them to 2.0.

But in what we (myself, Tony Steward and Cynthia Ware) are calling “Church 2.0″ is the value and philosophy of open source.

In the book and movement known as Church 2.0 – open source is a very big part of it. We are a long way from anything 3.0, bro.
