Since all the blogs I’ve studied can easily be found in a Google search, I have no provacy restructions in publishing thelist of blogs that I’m studying. I however would like to keep the list from this blog until the thesis has been submitted, as I’m still in conversations with many bloggers. If people would like a list, I can email it to them.

You’re right. Thanks for noting my slip. I’ll amend that on the post.

It’s not really me who’s saying Hillsong is not a church. It’s the people whose blogs I’ve been studying. I would say their construction of church involves people, both lay and ordained/employed work and worship together in ministry to each other and mission to people and communities. Their construction of the mega-church model is one where staff create spiritual goods and services for audiences and consumers.

I’d prefer “construction” as a better word than “definition”, because it’s they don’t say talk much about defining what a church is. They do talk a lot about good churches and bad churches. And there are a few references to Hillsong being “not a church, but a business”.
