WHAT: Mockingbird seeks to connect the Christian faith with the realities of everyday life in fresh and down-to-earth ways.
WHY: Are we called Mockingbird? The name was inspired by the mockingbird’s peculiar gift for mimicking the cries of other birds. In a similar way, we seek to repeat the message we have heard - God’s word of grace and forgiveness.
HOW: Via every medium available! At present this includes (but is not limited to) a daily weblog, semi-annual conferences, and an ongoing publications initiative.
WHO: At present, we employ two full-time staff, David Zahl and Ethan Richardson and one part-time, William McDavid. They are helped and supported by a large number of contributing volunteers and writers. Our board of directors is chaired by Mr. Thomas Becker.
WHERE: Our offices are located in Christ Episcopal Church in Charlottesville, VA.
WHEN: Mockingbird was incorporated in June 2007 and is currently in its sixth year of operation.
The work of Mockingbird is made possible by the gifts of private donors and churches. Our 2013 operating budget is roughly $170,000, and with virtually no overhead, your gifts translate directly into mission and ministry. Can you help? Please feel free to email us at info@mbird.com if you have any questions or would like more information.
As a convenience, we are set up to accept online donations via Paypal. This method will allow you to give with a credit card, in any amount you wish. Simply click on the button below and follow the instructions.

3 of my faves:
“…fishsticks, and now a cat.”
“Maybe it’s a sign that we better all start taking care of eachother.”
“I don’t see it, but it’s a good story.”
And what an ending. Did JAZ make that graphic?

So much for 8th century iconoclasm, but David Zahl should win some sort of award for discovering this video.

I guess sometimes it takes the veneration of the everywhere allover icons to point out the fact that the title of this post is actually true.

I love it. . . “seems like if Jesus were going to show up, it wouldn’t be in a tub of ice cream.” . . . “Sweet Jesus shows up anywhere.” . .

My favorite part is the girl labeled “Amazed Onlooker” who says she doesn’t think anything of it – it’s just a glare in a window . . . maybe they should have just put “onlooker” instead . . . hilarious
