values mapping: some scary insights
This map is a remarkable visual on the levels of individualism and secularism in various parts of the world. No real surprises, but it is interesting Sweden comes up the highest on both these scores. I was in Sweden over this last week and could not get away from the rather despairing feeling that if something is not done, and soon, we are seeing the last generation of Evangelical belief in that magnificent land. Europe is in deep trouble with the rest of us Westerners not far behind. Your thoughts? Read more
interview with christianity today
Here is an interview I did for Christianity Today.
in memoriam
Having been on the road and not having access to the internet, I missed Holocaust memorial day. With the new rise of antisemitism and the British educational system removing references to the holocaust because it offended the delicate sensibilities of Islamic students, I feel that it is necessary to constantly remember, not just as a Jew, but because remembrance is an intrinsic part of biblical faith–we are so tied to history.

a personal blog for the hirschies
Hi gang, just letting you know that Deb and I have started a personal blog called “A Taste for the Other“. You can found it at www.theforgottenways.org/personal/ or listed in the “about Alan Hirsch” section on my front page (see above). We started this to make sure we can keep connection with all our friends and to be a bit of a travelogue and general reflection on life. Debs will post regularly there, and I will contribute from time to time as well. See you there as well. 
exponential
Just a reminder that Exponential, probably the premier church planting conference in the West, is coming up again soon. Hirschy will be there along with the Shapevine tribe. We are running the missional track which includes Ed Stetzer, Neil Cole, and myself. Also, I will be doing one of the keynotes on Wednesday.
