Mad Church Disease is a lively, informative, and potentially life-saving resource for anyone in ministry--vocational or volunteer--who would like to understand, prevent, or treat the epidemic of burnout in church culture.
two sites you should check out
5.16.2008 | Blogging, Church, Compassion International
CompassionBloggers.com - WOW. from the first time brian mentioned the trip to me, to now, three months after returning from uganda, i don’t think anybody really knew the impact blogging could make in releasing children from poverty. well, needless to say, it has blown everybody’s stinkin’ minds.
shaun (in between wearing a dress and a cute little girly hat, and hanging out with cuban assassins) has been working really hard on this site which connects bloggers and children to the world. the next blogging trip is in november, and he is looking for people to go that want to passionately explore this new road of getting children sponsored and having their own lives changed forever. oh, and you can also post about 2873 cool widgets and stuff on your blog.

WeTheChurch.org - i love prayer. i love praying for others, and hearing how god is working in their lives probably more than anything in the world. it is powerful and transforming.
my friends chad and scott launched an amazing site called WeTheChurch.org. people submit either prayer or praises — keeping their thoughts within 140 characters like twitter — and from all over the world, people can pray and celebrate with them.
my favorite part of this site is that i can get new prayers/praises in my twitter feed. let me tell you there is nothing like reading,
“A friend’s father had a massive stroke today, in ICU, doctors said he has 50/50 chance of surviving, if he does, he’ll have permanent damage”
in between the daily tweets of “at starbucks” and “my cat barfed up a hairball.” it’s divine. truly.
CHECK OUT WETHECHURCH.ORG and FOLLOW THEM ON TWITTER.

Thanks, Anne.
(And the cuban assassin had to be visited after spending four days in a dress. I had to man-up somehow.)

Thanks for all you’ve done to help promote WeTheChurch.org. Without great bloggers to spread the word it would most likely sit very idle.
And thanks for plugging Compassion again. Great organization.

And I forgot to mention. You’re right. Having the prayers and praises show up in my twitter feed has completely changed the rhythm of my day. It’s really exciting and sometimes heart breaking to read all at once.

For some strange reason, I have been able to spend time reading blogs, etc. more than normal lately, because my entire life isn’t spent working.
Some of my favorite things of late are:

wethechurch.org is under serious attack this morning (Saturday). It’s not pretty, and I don’t recommend sending folks over there at this point.

We temporarily pulled the site down and are putting stronger security in place. And praying for whoever did it.

I’m not sucking up, but honestly, when you suggest something, I know there is a purpose behind it, and I normally listen and look.
Thanks!

Dooce.com
not a christian site but one of my fav quirky writers. She has become less vulgar over the past few years which is good.
Noticing that several Christian sites have started to look & sound the same.
Political blogs are my first choice when I sit down. I don’t like to go to a “religious” writer and read their version of politics because it’s usually like bad like watered down coffee. An attempt that falls short. I also enjoy reading good homeschool sites. Yes - I AM SOOO BORING.
