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.

There’s a saying: “When the sage points at the moon, all the fool sees is the finger.”
The O’Neill twins are so amazing that, when I watch this video, I feel like a fool!

Right? And it looks like Mockingbirds are not the only fans of “forensic” understandings of the atonement after all.

Wow!
John Zahl, that saying is great and it applies here; but man, the sage(s) is “locking that (stuff) up” and this fool loves it!

I have a picture of me with one of the O’Neal twins, Edgar. I was in college and I stumbled across this number and another, ‘No more water, but fire this time, and thought, ‘Brothers from another mother?’ I heard him lead worship in St. Louis and was hooked.
Great post Browder.
