Seven Posts in the Chain Blog So Far! (Dealing with Divisiveness)

Posted by on Jun 24, 2011 in chain blog | Comments Off on Seven Posts in the Chain Blog So Far! (Dealing with Divisiveness)

Last Monday, I started a chain blog about dealing with traditionally divisive issues among the church. (See my post “Chain Blog: Dealing with Divisive Issues Introduction.”) I didn’t know if people would be interested in the concept of a “chain blog” or in this topic, but I have been very pleased and encouraged by the response so far!

So far, six more bloggers (for a total of 7!) have written “links” in this chain blog, and each link is somehow related to the topic of dealing with divisive issues. However, each link is also different from each other.

Here are the “links” so far:

1. “Chain Blog: Dealing with Divisive Issues Introduction” by Alan
2. “Chain Blog: Dealing with divisive issues starts with love” by Arthur
3. “I am divisive” by Jeremy
4. “Chain Blog: Please agree with me” by Jon
5. “Division and our shared humanity” by Andy
6. “Chain Blog: solving the problem” by Bobby
7. “Divisiveness: Acts 2 & Ugly Carpet” by fallenpastor

If you have not written a post for the chain blog yet, but would like to, simply jump over to the last post in the chain and tell people that you’re writing the next post (in the comments).

My first post was really just an introduction to the topic, so I plan to write another “link” in the chain. If you wrote an earlier link in the chain, feel free to add another post as well.

This is a very important issue. I think the church must face this issue and admit that while we are united in Christ we are actually living divided and divisive lives (in general).
