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.

Thanks for this, Browder. Just wondering, was the gospel reference in the lyrics (in Behind Blue Eyes) or in that he felt the freedom to wear those pants?

me: only "Who" knows…
… great music vids with snippets and glimpses of the "Image" in man (Daultry) struggling with his fallen state… and confessing his longing for salvation? I think yes…
cheers…

Andrea, "Behind Blue Eyes" is the Romans 7 picture of bondage and sublimation. The Jeremiah 17:9 picture. They are talking about what appears to be and what actually is.
And The Who is so cool they can wear any pants and still be totally awesome.
