I got my own post. Thanks for all the suggestions. I can really see us doing those type of things. But again, we're planters, we think (hope) most of us have that mindset to begin with. I'll definately check out Stetzer's book as well. I'm reading "The Tangible Kingdom" right now, which addresses many of the issues I'm struggling with. Thanks again for the post! Wow!

Though you should definitely go with some other people. I was a bit confused by the red A idea (I was thinking "The Scarlet Letter"), until I went and checked out the site you refer to. Then it all made much more sense. I actually am part of a "missional" group right now that includes atheists and a few agnostics. The atheists do consider themselves "missional." They are on a mission to help people, and just so happen to have included some Christians who want to love and help people too. It is the most fun-loving, joyful, friendly group of people I have ever been around. We have some lively discussions, but it's all in love because what unites us is our service. So anyway, I say "Go for it!" Let me know if/when you do it. I can't promise anything, but maybe I can come down for a day/weekend and lend a hand. Bullet,

We still have a big problem with houses in New Orleans that people have just abandoned. Grass is high, all manners of wildlife abound and they're just a dirty, moldy, stinky mess. I want to grab a group of people (or maybe just go byself to areas that aren't too dangerous) and start working. Cut the grass. Do some work inside. Whatever can be done. And see who joins me. The difference is that I plan on doing it with a great big red A on my car, trailer shirt, something. (http://outcampaign.org/) If it ever comes to fruition, real life being what it is, I'd like to try and show that people with no faith can still have a normal positive impact on local society. And it's the local part that's important. Missional atheist? :) I find we usually agree on what's important, even if we come from different directions to get there. I think that's pretty cool.
