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.

"Moderation can be sexy, therefore; choose moderation." Moderation is never sexy; I never choose moderation. That is why there is no moderation, 6% or otherwise, in the gospel.

I have a dragon in my hand which represents this drink I'm selling. Therefore, in your subconscious, I am actually driving around with this drink in my hand which is against the law. Since I am breaking the law, I need the Gospel. Either that or bail.

It's about cartography: "Here there be dragons."

She doesn't seem to be wearing a seatbelt.
And unless that's a Mercedes convertible (7 speed automatic), she'll have some difficulty shifting gears since she has one arm holding the dragon.
But otherwise, I'm pretty sure a dragon of whatever size is still going to bite you.

She's holding the dragon rather than the dragon really holding her.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while,(catch a dragon) you could miss it.

You can close your eyes (denial), but the dragon (read: world, flesh, and the devil) is still with you.
