Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in an online forum on missional church planting hosted by Ed Stetzer and put on by the good folks at Coachnet. If you've read Ed's book called, "Planting New Churches in a Post-Modern Age", then there's not much new to share about this experience, but a few good nuggets of wisdom did emerge for me (mainly a reminder to work hard to understand my city, some practical ways to do that, and some challenging concepts on the difference between covenant community and Christian community) Some good resource nods came up too. Anyway, all in all I am glad I was a part of this thing and am posting the summary of the forum if you are interested.
