    Beautiful. This is what good manners, which makes a gracious social life among the fallen possible, is all about…mutual lying through our teeth or holding our tongues. Some folks in the South still understand this, but they are dying off.

About

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, weekly podcasts, a quarterly print magazine, semi-annual conferences, and an ongoing publications initiative.

WHO: At present, we employ three full-time staff, David Zahl, Todd Brewer, and CJ Green, and six part-time, Sarah Condon, Ethan Richardson, Kendall Gunter, Bryan Jarrell, Deanna Roche, and Marcy Hooker. They are helped and supported by a large number of contributing volunteers and writers. Our board of directors is chaired by The Rev. Jonathan Adams.

WHERE: Our offices are located at Christ Episcopal Church in Charlottesville, VA.

WHEN: Mockingbird was incorporated in June 2007 and is currently in its 13th year of operation.
