Prediction…New book by Rick Warren: Purpose-Driven Blogging
Read this from Hugh Hewitt’s site:
And Rick Warren or some other far seeing pastor with a big facility and conference organizing experience ought to convene a conference on blogging and the Church, and invite all the God bloggers and interested pastors and parachurch workers to meet and confer on the new communication platform. If someone throws that party, I’ll endlessly promote it. But I hope that organizer invites some secular bloggers so that the Godblogcon I isn’t as hopelessly narrow in scope as the Harvard gathering.

And don’t hold it where the temps get down to zero.
POST #2: Andy Jackson writes (January 22, 2005)
Well, I’m on the pastoral staff of an Arizona (Mesa) mega-church with a 2,000 theater seat auditorium with a mega-screen that we could likely use. I will organize it if there is real widespread interest. But Hugh would have to do more than promote it, he would have to be a keynote speaker. I can guarentee him that the temps will not get down to zero. Oh ya, be sure to order Hugh’s book Blog today. Just think, blogging near, from, or in the Grand Canyon.
UPDATE #1: Hugh Hewitt e-mailed me (Andy Jackson) and said “run with it.” However, he also said we should have at least 50 to 100 committed bloggers or we should pull the plug. So, speak up now or forever hold your peace. Get this announcement out on your blogs and let’s see who has an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying.
