I think that those people are great and have interacted with a lot of them but I think its too early to tell where this will going. I'm pretty impressed that Tony commented on your site. That's some class on his part to make sure that the correct info is out there.

Good to know. I'm wondering...is there a way that more of the book revenue can go directly to Emergent? It seems like the books are the most direct way Emergent helps emerging churches, so it's a natural way for us to support your work. I just hate to think of a publisher getting 98% of the money, though I know they do a lot of the important distribution and publicity work that makes a book like AGO successful. Thanks Tony!

Actually, I'm already working almost full-time, but I'm volunteering. 2) Contributions will be only one way that we hope to get a little revenue, and it will be a small amount. 3) I'm from a mainline background, not seeker. 4) Emergent plans to stay very small -- we just have a few things that need to get done, and having some money so that one person can set aside some time to do them will lower everyone's frustration.
