			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Submergent.org now has a discussion board to help facilitate communication.</p>
<p>Originally, Submergent.org allowed for various authors to post content on the front page, making Submergent.org a collaborative blog. Updates were few and far between. And, to be honest, that isn&#8217;t the best way to foster conversation.</p>
<p>In our second attempt at a website, we turned the site into a feed aggregator of member blogs. But that too proved troublesome. The site had functionality problems and we found that it didn&#8217;t foster dialog.</p>
<p>And so, we&#8217;ve added a discussion board to help facilitate conversation. Short of a full-out social networking site (I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;ve had my fill of web 2.0 social networks), this is the best way to foster discussion on submergent.org.</p>
<p>So, check it out <a href="http://www.submergent.org/sf-forum/">here</a>. You can subscribe to the rss feed for the forum <a href="http://www.submergent.org/sf-forum/?xfeed=all">here</a>.</p>

Maybe we should have our two groups form an alliance. I mean, if they are willing to accept nonviolence, we can all wear wetsuits. Deal?

<li> How do we, as individuals and organizations, respond faithfully to the crises facing our world?</li>
<li>What is our duty to God, ourselves, our families, our neighbors, our enemies, and our planet in light of Jesus’ radical message of the kingdom of God?</li>
<li>How can we engage in personal formation and theological reformulation for global transformation?</li>
