Gospel & Our Culture Network

The Gospel and Our Culture Network has a revamped site which looks good.  If you are unfamiliar with GOCN, here's some info from their site...

The Gospel and Our Culture Network has been spawned by:

• the cultural currents of Western society and ethnic tradition that have shaped how we live in North America.


• the rapid changes taking place as we move from a "modern" to "postmodern" form of society.


• the growing un-ease of the church as it experiences a dislocation from its prior places of importance.

The aim is to explore what these things mean, under the light of the gospel, for the life and witness of the church.

[...]

The network offers companionship for Christian leaders and groups eager to work together with others who share similar concerns. It brings together people from a wide spectrum of churches -- from Mennonite to Roman Catholic, from Anglican to Southern Baptist -- and a range of local ministry settings.

• It puts theological educators and ministry practitioners into fruitful contact with each other so that effective strategy and sound theory may be wedded together.


• It provides mutual encouragement between denominational administrators and local congregational leaders to discover models of the church capable of sustaining a living and faithful witness to the gospel in our contemporary world.


• It encourages the formation of local groups in which pastoral and lay leaders of congregations work together to develop practical responses to contemporary challenges.


• It makes available resources and materials to facilitate vision and change in the missional life of the church.
