In some ways, however, the One Campaign seems similar to the evolution of the web–a hundred different platforms, systems and tools which are increasingly unified through a common language.  To that extent, it would be good for evangelical Christians to join the party and learn how to link arms and be belligerent against a common foe with those whom we have deep and substantial differences.  That said, it’s not entirely clear what One wants from this specific effort, as their is (it seems) no broader unification, but rather only isolated attempts to build awareness within specific churches. The One Campaign has lots of room to get better.  Hopefully, evangelicals will be an increasing voice in improving it. 207a [...] [...] That’s may be about to change.  For the first time ever, One is targeting religious communities to build awareness of it’s mission and goals, and is doing so through the One Sabbath (November 23-25th).  They are asking churches of all faiths to devote a weekend to raising awareness and mobilize people to work to end poverty.  This year is a limited release, if you will–if successful, a broader and more publicized effort will happen next year (though it’s not too late to sign up!).
