Tim B and the Wisdom of Crowds::
Tim Bednar (e-Church) has got all excited by the Wisdom of Crowds idea and is talking of a new website. Based round his "We Know More than our Pastors" thoughts about participatory church. The only trouble: he is talking of calling it "We Know More".
I'd go with a different name, "we know more" takes the worst problem with "we know more than our pastors" - its potential to sound arrogant, and exagerates it...
How about "Small People Loosely Joined"* that describes most of us - you could even quote Paul to the Corrinthians as the inspiration!
PS. On second thoughts, maybe something more like "Small people being joined" would be better... Needs more thought...
* With no apologies to the Real Small Peices...
