The Antioch Manifesto Project

Registration, Errors & Getting Support

Nathan Haila — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:08:30 +0000

Today marks one week since we launched antiochmanifesto.org, the Antioch Manifesto Project website! It’s exciting to see how many people have signed up (more than 80 users) and are starting to engage in the global conversation! If you haven’t registered yet, remember that the registration code provided to you at the 2008 BILD International Summit is only good through November, 20th.

Registration Errors
The primary source of problems people encountered on registration was caused by a failure to click the link in the confirmation e-mail which serves to verify the e-mail address provided. Failure to open that exact link prevents the user from successfully logging into the site, even when using the correct username and the given password. The majority of the problems on registration have been fixed by simply having the user go back and open that link, thus verifying their e-mail. The login process should be successful after this step has been completed. Please note that passwords *and* usernames are case-sensitive! Failure to use the correct capitalization (and/or spaces) will result in an “Invalid Username” error message.

Getting Support
To provide support for the Antioch Manifesto, we are using a service called Get Satisfaction!. If you are encountering problems while you use this website, please click the “Get Support” link at the bottom of every Antioch Manifesto page. This will take you to the the Get Satisfaction! page for BILD International. We monitor this site constantly, in an effort to resolve issues quickly as they arise.

In addition to reporting problems and bugs, Get Satisfaction! allows you to ask questions, share ideas, or give praise in regards to the Antioch Manifesto website, like navigation, design, Slideo, etc… (not the concepts or content). Please take advantage of the excellent tool that it is for providing feedback. Please do not post issues that need support on concept pages. We do not monitor comments from a support standpoint. Any support request made on a concept page, via the comment system, will likely be missed. They will also be deleted upon response, so other users having the same problem won’t be able to benefit from the help provided to you, which adds to the time taken to respond to every support request.

We look forward to hearing you feedback as you join in the conversation.

Concept #5

Jeff Reed — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:05:00 +0000

One of the three major traditions of the Early Church, based on the “way of Christ and His Apostles,” which serves as a prototype for a return to this tradition on a global scale in the 21st century.

Concept #4

Jeff Reed — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:04:23 +0000

The body of Christ’s teaching delivered to the churches through His Apostles, via their letters and eventually the Gospels, referred to by these early churches as the Kerygma (gospel story) and the Didache (teaching)—a body of teaching in which every believer needs to be carefully founded, beginning with the first principles.

Concept #3

Jeff Reed — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:03:54 +0000

Top leaders are to take seriously the development of the next generation of leaders, in the context of ministry, in a way that creates a perpetual, intergenerational chain of leaders to whom they can entrust the stewardship of the churches in the sound doctrine.

Concept #2

Jeff Reed — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:02:05 +0000

The process of building strong churches involved establishing them in the gospel (Paul’s early letters), in the mission and vision of the church (Paul’s middle letters), and in maturing as a household (Paul’s later letters).

Concept #1

Jeff Reed — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:01:58 +0000

The mission of the Church is simple: evangelize strategic cities, establish churches, and entrust those churches to well trained leaders.

Introduction

Jeff Reed — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:00:29 +0000

The idea of the Antioch Manifesto Project comes from the Antioch mission model at the heart of the book of Acts.

It builds on the Antioch tradition/school of the first 3 centuries of the Early Church.

It is a manifesto—a challenge and a pathway to build paradigms in the 21st century based upon “the way of Christ and His Apostles.
