Tweeting the Gospel: Rob Bell Tries Again

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:28:40 -0700

Sent to you via Google ReaderTweeting the Gospel: Rob Bell Tries
Again

In an interview
with Rob
Bell earlier this year, CT senior managing editor Mark Galli asked the Mars
Hill Bible Church pastor how he would present the gospel on Twitter. Bell
replied:

I would say that history is headed somewhere. The thousands of little ways
in which you are tempted to believe that hope might actually be a legitimate
response to the insanity of the world actually can be trusted. And the
Christian story is that a tomb is empty, and a movement has actually begun
that has been present in a sense all along in creation. And all those times
when your cynicism was at odds with an impulse within you that said that
this little thing might be about something bigger—those tiny little slivers
may in fact be connected to something really, really big.

In his response, Bell provoked a fair bit of
criticismin
the blogosphere (as he did again last
week when he told
*The Boston Globe
,* “I embrace the term *evangelical*, if by that we mean a belief that we
together can actually work for change in the world, caring for the
environment, extending to the poor generosity and kindness, a hopeful
outlook. That’s a beautiful sort of thing.”)

But Galli pointed out that he was cheating anyway. His answer was a lot more
than 140 characters. "You can't really tweet the gospel," Bell replied.

Well, last night, Bell gave it a second shot
on his Twitter feed: "The
gospel is the counterintuitive, joyous, exuberant news that Jesus has
brought the unending, limitless, stunning love of God to even us."

At 117 characters, he even left enough to retweet.

Bread for the World In Portland: Reflections on Building the Movement to End Hunger

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:06:36 -0700

Bread for the World In Portland: Reflections on Building the Movement to End Hunger:

Rev. Art Simon, the founder and president emeritus of Bread for the World, will share the surprising story of how God uses ordinary people to make an extraordinary difference in the lives of hungry people. Hear him talk about his new book The Rising of Bread for the World: An Outcry of Citizens Against Hunger and reflect of his decades of advocacy for hungry people. With both humor and insight, Art recounts how he and his older brother Paul, the late renowned Senator from Illinois, grew up and began their remarkable careers. In the 1970s, Art served as a Lutheran pastor in New York’s Lower East Side. He brought together Catholics and Protestants in an organized effort to urge Congress to address the root causes of hunger. Today, 35 years later, Bread for the World is the nation’s foremost Christian voice against hunger. He’ll share this amazing story—and talk about why urging our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad is as important now as ever.
