[Grid::Blog::Via Crucis 2007 ]
Last year, more than 50 bloggers around the globe came together to share their reflections in a grid blog called Via Crucis during the week often called HOLY WEEK and in the week after EASTER. The name for this rag-tag effort comes from the Latin words for the Way of the Cross – Via Crucis. The response was astounding to this experiment in distributed global media, which was designed to draw on the creativity, diversity, and theological understanding of the blogging community to a moment in the story of folks practicing faith.
With the beginning of Holy Week (Palm Sunday ‚Äì April 1) right around the corner, I am hoping you might join the [Grid::Blog::Via Crucis 2007] – if you are interested please go to http://thecorner.typepad.com/via_crucis_2007/ for a calendar of this year’s grid blog and sign up!
Ashley Benigno introduced the concept of a grid blog, which is really quite simple: during a period of time (from April 1 – May 27), folks would post their own reflection on their own blogs (including media of any type) and include:
(a) [Grid::Blog::Via Crucis 2007] in their subject line and in their post
(b) include links to other gridblog for that day or station
