Mark Driscoll This Wink Is For You
This is me winking (context) to the caricature that Driscoll has become (McLaren, Pagitt, & even choir boy Rob Bell are now all heretics).
I tag all of my friends who run in this circle of friends to wink with me and to start a huge movement of bloggers who are collectively winking at the tom foolery of those who have diarrhea of the mouth.
Does that phrase negate my wink?
Other WINKERS:
Won’t you join in the fun?

[...] I promise this won’t turn into another Mark Driscoll rant - if you want something like that, I’m pretty sure you couldn’t find something like that on this site. I ran across a link to a new podcast of Mark Driscoll on Bob’s blog - I don’t agree with much of his analysis. Driscoll is speaking at the Convergent Conference at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and you can listen to the podcast here. You can skip the first 14 min or so - it’s just Driscoll telling about his upbringing. Around minute 14 or 15 is when he begins to start criticizing people, specifically Brian McLaren, Doug Pagitt and Rob Bell (really? Rob Bell?). Apparently, the battle has begun (again) and it’s time to take up your battle positions. While there is so much more I want to say, I’ve said it before. So - Mark Driscoll, “this wink’s for you.” I like to think of it as an “Aww, isn’t that cute”-wink. And I’m not the only one - many are giving Driscoll the wink. [...]

Hey Josh,
I totally agree - Mark’s ad hominem hermeneutic is better at drawing boundaries than it is conclusions.
Love the wink idea and was considering posting a copycat myself. Big fan of culture jamming, too.
But is there a better way?
Before rallying the troops, check my blog for a suggestion. Can we do it instead?
