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.

If it walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, and can raise the dead like a duck…then its a duck!

It’s amazing how Colbert so simply refutes Ehrman’s finely-tuned arguments.

I’ve always been amazing at how a scholar can write books that say nothing original and yet they can receive so much publicity. For example, in regard to the crucifixion, Jurgen Moltmann noted the same differences over 30 years ago. Yet Moltmann equally contends that the early church did not misunderstand the meaning of Jesus’ death.

Luther and Calvin also dealt with all these issues. “Jesus is an Elephant!”

I’m never sure what to make of Colbert. He is hilarious and usually irreverent, but he actually does refute Ehrman. Remarkable!
