2nd Asian American Emergents Skypecast

The 2nd Asian American Emergents Skypecast will happen on Sunday night, August 27th, at 9:00pm Eastern / 8:00pm Central / 6:00pm Pacific. Please join us for some cordial conversations, even if you’re in Mountain time or in Malaysia. (Skype me if you run into tech issues.)

These 3 questions and 1 article will be our conversation starter:

And for a starter reference point on what is the emerging church and Emergent, we’ll refer to Scot McKnight’s Emerging Movement: Future or Fad? (PDF; cache) that was written for the Evangelical Covenant monthly newsletter. [ht: TSK]

  • This will be my maiden skypecast with over seas friends :-) on a more specific topic. It's a date. Sorry I can't share Malaysian fruits virtually --> http://www.marimari.com/content/malaysia/best_o... (would be a good preview, and invitation to come here for holidays!)
  • hello dj - sorry to be a stone-age internet user, but how does a skypecast work? i'd like to participate, but i'm not 100% sure what it is :D do i need to sign up on the skype site? is it like an online chat or more like talking over the telephone? thanks!!
  • Daniel,

    Skype is a free software that you can download at www.skype.com (PC, Mac, Linux) that enables you to make voice (and video) calls over the Internet. Yes, you'll need to sign up after you get the software installed, and you'll need a broadband Internet connection. A Skypecast is similar to talking on a conference call.

    (We did play with the idea of setting up a dial-in conference call for this monthly event, but we're more attracted to the free cost of doing a skypecast for now.)

    Hey DJ,

    This sounds great. However, since it'll be work time in Bangkok, I'll try to get on and listen, if I don't have something else lined for that time. If I can contribute, I'll try to bring some Asian-Canadian perspectives to the table :)
  • DJ,
    I have done skype before, but have no idea how I did it. Do I dial something? What do I do if I want to listen in?
    Scot
  • You might e-mail rather than respond on this site.
  • Scot: Make sure your Skype client is turned on, then browse to https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypeca... on Sunday night, and you're welcome to listen in! (I can put you on mute, or you can mute yourself.)
  • I had a great time! Thanks DJ, and everyone for "including" me :-) Group Huh anyone?
  • I think I meant "Group HUG"! But part of conversations include "Huh?" ...
  • hey guys, thanks for the wonderful conversation...I feel so baptized when I am done with these skypecast...thanks DJ for being such a firesetter for this to happen...it is really a wonderful opportunity to share our thoughts and our hearts....look forward to our next skypecast...
