FAQ For Your Wiki

What is a wiki?

A wiki is a website that can be added to, deleted from, edited, or just looked at by anybody.   Wikipedia is the prime example of a wiki in action -- an online community that actively participates in the design, content creation, editing, updating, managing, and otherwise messing with a site. 

What is churchcamp?

Churchcamp is not bunkbeds and mildewed cabins.  Churchcamp is an unconference, either online at this site, or for real that is self-organizing, self-perpetuating, self-presenting, and not controlled by anybody except participants.  Churchcamp is the conversation for people who are interested in imagining the church as missional community in a postmodern, postchristendom, postevangelical world. 

Will you guys sell my email or spam me with ads?

No.  Simple, straightforward, honest -- no.  Mainly because nobody has asked to buy our list yet, but until then, no.

What's the churchcamp wiki for? 

See What is churchcamp? for the answer to this one, but basically this wiki is the online, continuing unconference for missional church.

What else is going on with churchcamp?

Churchcamp may evolve into a real unconference where those of us interested in reimagining the church in missional terms actually get together.  But whether online or in-person, the 3 principles of churchcamp remain the same:  1)  Everyone participates; 2) Leaders can emerge from anywhere; and, 3) we are all equals in an open community. 

Who started churchcamp?

Chuck Warnock swiped the idea of churchcamp from barcamp.org and it's sibling social-network spin-offs.  Chuck is a pastor, blogger, and missional practitioner.
