Who Is The New "National Coordinator" of Emergent Village?
By Steve Knight:
Joshua Case in Atlanta says he is the new National Coordinator of Emergent Village … and so are you!
In this short video to launch a viral campaign (see below), Case says, “I, and a few friends of mine, are urging everyone who are involved in the conversation, wherever you are, to stand up and take your place within this conversation. ... Stand up and claim the role of National Director, so that we’re able to see this movement continue on.”
Troy Bronsink has added his voice, errr, written response (his microphone apparently doesn’t work), as well:
What about you? Add your voice by posting a video response to Joshua on YouTube.
UPDATE: There’s now a Facebook group you can join to show your solidarity: I Am the Emergent National Coordinator
UPDATE 2: Troy Bronsink expands upon this campaign to elect yourself the new National Coordinator of Emergent Village: “Sure this is tongue-in-cheek. [But] we need people starting things (like the regional gatherings that have risen up, the podcasts and blogs, the churches, the community organizing, the magazine ideas … people do do stuff around here!) instead of learning to expect EV to start things. This is what we say every month at the Atlanta Cohort, ‘Emergent belongs to you. Whatever you bring to the table, mixed with our four practices/values, and that equals emergent. No more. No less. So lets figure out what we want to make of it’ ...
“And as we evolve into a more centralized or increasingly decentralized conversation I think this is a chance for participants of the village, no matter what neighborhood you’re in, to lean into agency. Leaning into this is taking the risk of using our gifts … So, pull the sword out of your stone! Blaze a trail. Start your own Emergent neighborhood-inside-the-village. Your the people you’ve been waiting for.” Read the whole thing
Steve Knight is local organizer for the Charlotte Emergent Cohort and a member of the Coordinating Group for Emergent Village.

Yeah, wait… I just threw my support behind Adam. Is there gonna be a run-off vote of any kind?
I think you guys completely missed the point of what Joshua and Troy were trying to say …
But at least what you’re doing is funny! ;-)
Get some mojo and name yourself the next ntl coordintator

Actually, I’m throwing my hat in as the “Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich” type candidate.
Totally unknown, eminently qualified (?), not a chance in hell…
And since I have no real campaign infrastructure all I can do is post here.
I actually like your chances, Nathan. Way to step up and throw your hat in the ring! You get my vote ;-)
Put’s on my political pundit cap
Well, it’s a historic moment, Steve.
If we’re honest, this is really a primary that is wide open.
We’re seeing so many voices vying for the spot from every part of Lake Emerging.
It’s an exciting time and I’m just privileged to be the ultra-dark-horse candidate.
I thank you for your vote, it’s not wasted.
;)

I think there may have been some confusion. Because “I” am the new National Coordinator of Emergent Village:
