Building a Post-Modern Learning Community

Giving our lives away does not come easily.  We could say, “It just takes commitment” or “We just need to be more spiritual.”  Both of those may have an element of truth in them but there is another ingredient also.  Brian McLaren puts it this way in Church on the Other Side

Someone has said that the learners will inherit the earth while the learned are equipped to face a world that no longer exists.  That’s the reality of the new world.  Actually, there may no longer be such a thing as the learned in the new world – only learners and nonlearners.  And if only the fittest survive, maybe we’re being too optimistic.  Maybe there will be no nonlearners – only fast learners who thrive and slow learners who merely survive.”

What is Co-Net.cc?
You can see above what these abbreviations stand for.  Co-Net, for short, is a tool to network people in a learning environment who want to become more effective followers of Christ.  The format of learning can include:

Selecting recommended books to read
Attending a class
Creating a personal spiritual growth plan
Taking action based on new learning to work effectively in God’s Kingdom

The future belongs to the Learners

Co-Net primarily happens on Wednesday evenings as far as course work is concerned.  Co-learning groups can happen anytime, anywhere.  One goal is for Co-Net methods to transfer into other group settings such as Fellowship Bible Classes on Sunday and perhaps even committees and teams.
