Indie Voices Archive
I realised this afternoon that I’d not yet revisited the Indie Voices Archive page to re-organise it after the move from Blogger to WordPress. I thought – since we’re getting ready to do some more interviews – that it is well past time to get this part of the site underway. I give you the [...]
Welcome Siobhan
We’ve been sitting on this for a few weeks now – whilst some loose ends were tidied. On 15 March Rev. Siobhan Houston joined the community. Siobhan was ordained by +Martha Schultz in 2003. She’s a Denver resident, and is working to build a community there. Siobhan was one of the first interviewees for the [...]
I Call You Friend . . .
Throughout my 20 years of active OC/IC life I’ve encountered dozens of attempts by individuals and groups to forge a unified OC/IC (now ISM) “body”; particularly in the US. Every one of them fails miserably, and – at least in those cases I’ve closely observed – creates more division, and at least three more “synods” [...]
New Media and OC/IC Communities & Projects
Over the past couple of years – ever since I discovered the glories of SKYPE I’ve been interested in how OC/IC communities, and projects (like our own Indie Voices Archive) can use various new media to reach out beyond the small groups we work within. I’ve done a bit of blogging on it in the [...]
Migne PG Online
I’m a big fan of the Internet Archive – it’s where we store the interviews for the Indie Voices Archive, it is also where I store my other vids too. The Internet Archive is great for another reason – there are loads of 19th and early 20th century theology resources there, available free to all. [...]
New Diggs! Normal Programming Resuming!
After a few weeks of testing the new system on my personal blog and site; and spending some time thinking about the best method of consolidation and presentation, I’ve finally begun the process of moving the blog, the web pages, and the Indie Voices Archive to its new home. I’m hoping that I’ve given consideration [...]
Happy New Year!
. . . Well almost. I’m a few day’s late I know, but the sentiment is there all the same. The liturgical new year began on Monday and, at the time, I did not have immediate access to the net. New year, new ideas, new experiences . . . renewal generally. Hey, I like it. [...]
Buggered by Fruit!
Ok, so – not only have my web pages evaporated into thin ether – but now . . . the banners and some pics you “normally” see here – have too! I’m hoping to have at least this much fixed in the next 24-48 hours. And appreciate your patience. Our battle with Orange – our [...]
All Is Not Lost – Welcome 2008
No, I’ve not abandoned you! A belated Nativity post will appear soon; a timely Theophany post is also coming. Also my community is participating in this year’s Clergy Letter Project by producing a video exploring issues of science and religion (that won’t appear until the second week of February). So, “What did baby Jesus bring [...]
Indie Voices Archive Update
So, what’s happening over at the archive? Well, we’ve got one interview that is in the works, and about three that are being arranged. We have two interviews that need to be edited (still!), and we have started approaching possible interviewees for the next round. We’ll be arranging and conducting interviews up to the Feast [...]
Help Spread the Word Please
Greetings all! I’d like to ask you to help spread the word about the Indie Voices Archive. The project has taken shape, and is gaining momentum. We’ve got a cycle going of a period of conducting interviews then a period of editing & arranging the next round. People appear to be enjoying the results – [...]
New At The Archive
One down, two to go! We’ve added the newest interview to the Indie Voices Archive, you can here it by clicking here. There are two more interviews to finish editing of the most recent round, and I’ve begun inviting people to participate and arranging interviews for the next round to take place later this month [...]
New At the Archive . . .
You can hear the newest addition to the Indie Voices Archive by clicking here. There are three more interviews – including a video one – on the editing table. I’ve been ill the past week or so and that has slowed progress rather dramatically (ugh). Anyway, this newest addition is from a layperson’s perspective (collective [...]
New At the Archive . . .
Just a quick announcement – we’ve begun a second “phase” of the Indie Voices Archive Project which will collect what we’re calling “contemporary outside perspectives” – that is articles, and media reports of OC/IC communities and activities. These outsider views are just as informative as our insider stories and discussions. This phase needs your help [...]
Playing With the Numbers, Getting the Message Out
Thursday I posted a video in which I mentioned that many of the people I’ve interviewed thus far for the Indie Voices Archive highlighted as one of our weakenesses that we are not very well known – and we don’t do a very good job of getting our message out. This is true afterall, but [...]
Ekklesia 2.0 – Virtual Outreach?
Last year I wrote two posts Ekklesia 2.0, and Ekklesia 2.0.1 which played with ideas surrounding ministry and outreach on the net. Two weeks ago I was visiting a site that linked to the Second Life Anglican cathedral. Like you I’ve seen quite a few stories on the news and in the papers about virtual [...]
Indie Voices Archive – Update
We have four interviews scheduled this week, three more are being arranged. On the more mundane side of things we’re preparing to re-design the archive site so that the inverviews are inline (you can see an example on my “other blog“). This means that visitors will have two choices – to download the file, or [...]
Indie Voices Archive – Seraphim McCune
Fr. Seraphim McCune and I spoke at the beginning of June. It has taken me longer than expected to edit and post this interview. I’m hoping to arrange for more interviews soon – as well as other aspects of the project. Tweet
Indie Voices Archive – Elaine Bessette
Here at last is Bishop Elaine Bessette’s interview. You may have noticed that the last three interviews have not yet been posted to the Archive’s web page – this is because the computer that the web pages are designed on is in the shop. Once it is back in GC HQ the web pages will [...]
Indie Voices Archive – John Plummer
It has taken longer than I had hoped – but here is the most recent addition to the Archive – an interview with Bishop John Plummer done last week. There are a few times where the video quality is wonky – honest John is not an alien invader (grin)! Its simply that our two ISP’s [...]
Indie Voices Archive – New Additions
I’ve just finished editing and posting Siobhan Houston’s interview for the Indie Voices Archive. As you can see it is in video – which, as this is the first one, is rather experimental. The picture quality is great, and the sound too – though the two are not entirely in sync (I’ve got a solution [...]
Indie Voices Archive – Whew! It’s finally off the Ground!
Ok, this took Waaaaaay longer than I thought it would. One thing led to another to another and bang, before you know it, what is meant to be a simple interview has become a major artistic production. Oh, and it probably does not help that I am so very much the amateur at all of [...]
