Voices of the Virtual World

Paul Walker is blogging chapter by chapter through Voices of the Virtual World: Participative Technology and the Ecclesial Revolution. At the end of this post is a complete list of authors including links. A complete listing of chapters including abstracts is HERE.

A press release is available and notices of the project are popping up all over the place including the Emergent Village blog. “Wikiklesia may be the world’s first self-perpetuating nomadic business model.” VOICES explores the growing influence of technology on the global Christian church. We hear from more than forty influential voices, including technologists and theologians, entrepreneurs and pastors… from a progressive Episcopalian techno-monk to a leading Mennonite professor… from a tech-savvy mobile missionary to a corporate anthropologist whom Worth Magazine calls “one of Wall Street’s 25 Smartest Players.”

Voices is a far reaching exploration of spiritual journey within a culture of increasingly immersive technology. Remember — all proceeds go to charity to the Not For Sale campaign. The print copy should be available via Lulu on August 22nd.
