‘Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.’ Matthew 23:25
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.

Maybe I should have watched that prior to watching it with my 7 year old daughter. I think she may be scarred.

A thousand pardons for that Burton!
Perhaps you can tell her that the kittens are simply a metaphor for self-deception and the intractably sinful human heart, so that while we may appear to be one thing on the outside, Jesus sees people as they truly are…like an adorable kitten who belongs to the Illuminati.
Or you can just tell her that a dog lover made that video. @8>)

Dylan,
That was disturbing. Being a cat owner, however, I can attest to the fallen nature of cats. While they can be extremely cute and cuddly they can also chew the crap out of your stereo wires just to get a rise out of you.
Thanks dude.
