in the works: your own city.pentecostproject.org domain

29Mar08

Thanks to Jon Irvine, there’s a really good chance we’ll be able to offer free sub-domains of pentecostproject.org with easy-to-use WordPress! This way we can have an easily networked web of city-based blogs, such as scranton.pentecostproject.org and columbus.pentecostproject.org, or a community-based subdomain, too, like safespace.pentecostproject.org.
We’ll let you know when we’re ready to roll on that.

I am nearly finished […]

While searching their archives after listing the link, I came across a post that reflects some of my hopes and dreams for the Pentecost Project. Check it out, and bookmark JM […]

24Mar08

An overwhelming series of photographs/designs by artist Chris Jordan utilizing common, everyday objects in mass quantities to display the excess we live with each day. From the artist:

This series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five […]

an introduction

21Mar08

The Pentecost Project is an experiment towards a more true and loving economy. As we approach the release of rebate checks from the U.S. government as part of its 2008 economic stimulus package, we are wondering if there is a better way to stimulate the economy than to become greater individualistic consumers.
