Just received info from Joe Carter at Evangelical Outpost, inviting everyone to participate in the 2008 EO/Wheatstone Academy Symposium, sponsored this year by Wheatstone Academy:
Every year I host a blog symposium on a topic of interest to Christian bloggers in the hopes of fostering an engaging and fruitful discussion. Normally, I don’t send out an email promoting the event but I’ve decided to make an exception this year since my generous co-sponsors (Wheatstone Academy, Stand To Reason, Touchstone magazine) have provided over $1,300(!) in prizes.
Topic this year: “If the medium affects the message, how will the Christian message be affected by the new media?”
Joe states:
“Putting together the symposiums takes a huge amount of work but I’ve found it to be a great way for the Christian blogging community to discover new voices and to join together for serious discussion. I hope you’ll help me promote this event by mentioning it on your blogs or by forwarding this email to others who might be interested.”
Top five posts chosen by our panel of judges (James Kushiner from Touchstone magazine’s Mere Comments, Melinda Penner from Stand to Reason, Matt Lewis from Townhall.com, and Matthew Anderson from Mere Orthodoxy) will receive:
(1) A full tuition scholarship for a Christian high school student of the winner’s choice to Wheatstone Academy. [A $950 value]
(2) The ‘Quintessentials’ from Stand to Reason, including the Ambassador Basic Curriculum, Tactics in Defending the Faith DVD, Decision Making and the Will of God CD set, and a signed copy of Greg Koukl’s new book Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air. [A $150 value]
(3) A $200 donation made to Compassion International in the name of the winning blogger.
(4) A full-tuition scholarship to the upcoming GodBlogCon (September 2008). [A $150 value]
(5) A two-year subscription to Touchstone Magazine. [A $59.95 value]
(6) A year subscription to Townhall magazine. [A $34.95 value]
“Those who choose only to write a brief comment promoting the Symposium are still eligible to receive a prize for participating. Anyone who includes a link to Joe’s post and a brief comment will be entered into a separate drawing for one of three copies of The New Media Frontier, forthcoming from Crossway Books.”
And now the link you’ve all been waiting for:
