Open source software makes the basic program instructions available
for anyone to see and edit. An 'open source church, ' likewise, is
one in which the basic functions of mission and ministry are open
to anyone. Members feel free to pursue their callings from God that
are consistent with what God has called the congregation to be and
do. But what does 'open source church' look like? In Open Source
Church: Making Room for the Wisdom of All, Landon Whitsitt argues
that Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that anyone can see and edit,
might be the most instructive model available to help congregations
develop leaders and structures that can meet the challenges
presented by our changing world. Its success depends, he
demonstrates, not on the views of select experts but on the
collective wisdom of crowds. Then, turning to the work of James
Surowiecki in The Wisdom of Crowds, he explores the idea that the
body of Christ itself--when it is intentionally diverse, encourages
independence of thought, values decentralization, and effectively
captures and aggregates the group's collective wisdom--is an open
source church. Together, these phenomena show us what an 'open
source church' looks like. It is the body of Christ at its best.
