Sounds like a fantastic endeavor with a horrible name.
Next year = iChurch or "New Coke" ?
Chasing computer convention naming schemes doesn't really communicate "sharing stories" to me as much as it does disembodied materialism.
A conference name only 21st century protestants could love.
I jest. :)

@human3rror - yeah, that's what it is, the web 2.0 definition is "hanging" a bit.. now, I'm comfortable with ambiguity, being an ideas guy, but I know most people (seem to) want more specificity and a definitive definition

@Mary Beth - glad you've signed up! which city?

@Ryan - nice paraphrase.. now what would that sound like with a Bostonian accent? :)

Here's my uninformed take since I'll be going to my first Church 2.0 gathering in Boston:

Church 2.0 refers to the intersection of the timeless ways in which the body of Christ exists in community and the new ways that humans can augment and experience community using digital tools.

Thanks for clarifying. I had signed up for church 2.0 but didn't know where to go from there.

Church 2.0 could mean a host of different things, and I think your point on how web 2.0's definition is still "hanging" a bit... but, at least, there is, perhaps, some more history behind web 1.0 and it's evolution into the 2 era. but maybe i'm over thinking it...?
