Birth
A great adventure opening up
Filled with promises and threats
"Why would you want to to bring a new life into a world like this?"
Such danger!
Such hopelessness!
What does a mother do?
Do mothers only see dangers?
Do mothers see the possibilities of one life?
Every baby is born with possibilities.
Mothers and fathers need imaginations
They can imagine the great life their child will lead.
They can imagine the impact their child will have on the world.
Every child has that possibility.
That is why they are born.

Thoughts from the IMN
The Human Event – Michigan
Join us at Kensington Community Church (Troy, Michigan) on October 13-14 for a 2-day conversation on the future of the church in the post-Christian and Trans-human 21st century west.
Neil Cole (Organic Church) Alex McManus (M Network)
and You.
Who is the Human Event for? Forward thinking, missional activists, thinkers, and leaders. If you think that may be [...]
Holiness and Risk
A few hours after touching down back in Scotland from The International Mentoring Network’s Immersion experience in Orlando, I found myself in a conversation about a Methodist Church initiative called Holiness and Risk.
Is it okay if I tell you a little about this? It’s a really intriguing kind of thing that can emerge [...]
Tomorrow and How to Get There – The Futuristic
Tomorrow. Face it with either fear or anticipation, it doesn’t matter which, it is coming regardless of our grasp of it. Fortunes have been made marketing knowledge about tomorrow whether that tomorrow is 24 hours away or 100 years distant.
Fortune tellers make the promise that that can allay our fears with their prognostication [...]
Communities of Knowing
In his book, The Message in the Bottle, Walker Percy tells the fictional story of a train that hurried through the countryside. The commuters on board saw the passing scenery as little more than a two-dimensional background rolling past their windows.
One day, though, the train breaks down and the commuters have to disembark by a [...]
Into the Beautiful Unknown (Cross-Posted)
Since Alex is publishing this blog post with the IMN newsletter, I thought it ought to have a link from the IMN as well. Enjoy. -Your friendly neighborhood editor-of-doom.
Sometimes I’m asked, What does “M” stand for? I usually answer, “Exactly.” The question is understandable. I use M a lot.

excited to get to know you more.

Very cool that you and Julia are chatting - so exciting. Not such a big world after all huh? So awesome.
We are home from Europe and had such a great, great time. Our team did brilliant and served with all of their hearts and were blessed by getting to know some very neat families that live for moving the Kingdom - it was an amazing time. I'm excited to see how our team moves forward to mark human history.
Love to continue the dialog as well. You mentioned community college and lots of international students - off the top of my head, here are a few ideas to chew on:
- free english classes for internationals [I find American kids have no idea how valuable knowing English is]
- the idea of a culture exchange [common elements we all have like music, food, recreation, etc. and sharing how each of those is different in cultures]
- shared service project [maybe fixing up an older park or some central place in the community]
We definitely have lots of energy and ideas! Let's keep chatting - fun stuff!
ps - did you and my friend J ever connect?
