Friends,
I wanted to let you know that we are in the final stages of development of the website for LK10: A Community of Practice for Church Planters. We've learned a great deal in the last couple of months of work on the beta version of this site. We have a few more modifications to make so that navigation within the site will be as simple and clear as possible. Once we have finished those improvements, we will send out an invitation to all former DAWN Associates.
The purpose of LK10 continues to be that of creating an environment where simple church planters from around the world can connect with each other. Here are two terms that will help you understand what we are after.
Community of Practice. LK10 is built around seven foundational practices of simple church planters. In this community, everyone is both a teacher and a learner. (There are no experts here... everyone is an expert... everyone has a voice!) "We humans learn best when in relationship with others who share a common practice... This community becomes a rich marketplace where knowledge and experience are shared. It also becomes an incubator where new knowledge, skills, and competencies develop." These quotes are from the attached paper by Margaret Wheatley.
Niche Social Network. LK10 uses a website as the starting place for the development of a worldwide community of church planters. "The power of niche social sites isn't just in connecting people, it’s in providing tools that allow people to do something better than they could before." http://bokardo.com/archives/the-power-of-niche-social-network-sites/
More to come.
