Tony Jones said in the latest edition of Emergent Village podcast that it was the result of hundreds (thousands?) of e-mails and conversations in which people expressed concern that EV was going to become like all the other organizations with Big-Wig’s at the top who speak disproportionately for the group as a whole and spend too much money on staffing etc. They want to “de-centralize” the thing. Very interesting perspective and mindset the Emergent Village has huh?
