UPDATE: Start reading the 2009 Aussie Synchroblogs here with Spirit of Australia and then follow the links on that page.
ORIGINAL: If you want to be a part of the Australian Synchoblog for Australia Day 2009, then get in touch with Matt Stone. 2008 was a great experiment. The most memorable moment was when Hamo of Backyard Missionary hit a raw post-charismatic nerve by saying,
“The next time someone prophesies massive revival in your church tell them they are full of crap. . .”

i think hamo’s post was one of my fav post’s of last year (unfortunately due to my infrequent blogging skills it’s still up on my blog)
ironic start to the year of the Florida outpouring in hindsight
maty – i actually read this on your blog today. sorry for forgetting to Hat Tip you.
consider yourself HT’ed after the fact. And your new blog design totally rocks! Love that twitter on the top.
Australia Day and Chinese New Year fall on the same day this year. I’m sure Sydney will be hopping.
I have to agree with Hamo……. but i don’t think it’s limited to Australia…….. seems a bit more global…. “the great Apathy” time period that we are in. ………. K8
and the great post-charismatic recalibration.
it’s a day late, and I am a kiwi, but here was my contribution to the australia day syncroblog:
