If my last post on Capitalism as Open Source didn’t trip all of you non-technology people up, then this one probably will. I’ll try to explain in simply again. But I’ve been thinking about p2p sharing as it relates to our economic systems. [...] [...] Ok.

While this doesn't seem too common in more traditional settings, a lot of folks out there are having success with this sort of idea in more organic, simple/house church approaches, both from a money perspective but especially in terms of spiritual formation. The interesting thing about these other approaches to church is that they don't even require the replacement income stream in many cases - the redistribution of spiritual responsibility results in a sustainable system without the head guy big bucks mentality. You could compare that to the wikipedia as well - it's basically how it's brought to us free. If a select few had to write the whole thing, they would have to be financially compensated royally, but since the load is shared by so many, we get a fantastic resource at very little cost (the ones derek aludes to above). why couldn't church function similarly?

You know, give it away without worrying about the profits/offering? They would have to have some other type of income stream though, so what would it be? Your thoughts Josh?
